colt 1911A1 vs COMANDER

simondp
does an original WW2 slide 45ACP fits on a colt comander frame?

they look the same to me, small parts are interchangeable i thought

but what with the slide and barrel.

Could a just change the complete top? (slide+ barrel) and put it on the commmander lower part (frame)

thanks

    The dust cover "the part of frame in front of the trigger guard"is shorter on a commander will tops fit[?] YES they will but look strange there will be a small amount of recoil spring exposed if you mount a 1911A1 slide on a commander frame no harm in function but might pinch the shooters hand if you shoot with both hands on the pistol

    The surface the recoil guide rests on, as well as the slide rails, is cut back farther on a Commander frame. Not a whole lot, but it might effect functioning.

    The short answer. YES. The dust cover is shorter and that is it. End of story.
