NRA Gun Gear of the Week: Dan Wesson Vigil Commander

by
posted on August 26, 2018

A new introduction in 2018, Dan Wesson’s Vigil Commander caught our attention due to its business-like appearance and performance-driven feature set. American Rifleman’s Joe Kurtenbach thinks the New York-based company, which has been part of the CZ-USA family since 2005, has really hit a homerun in terms of building an M1911 suitable for everyday concealed carry. 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.
