A new introduction in 2018, Dan Wesson’s Vigil Commander caught our attention due to its business-like appearance and performance-driven feature set.

Available in .45 ACP or 9 mm Luger, the Vigil Commander comes with excellent sights and ergonomics, and a price that makes it an excellent value, especially considering the quality components and craftsmanship involved in its assembly.
