, we call our 4.25" guns Mid Size (MS) since the Colt followers get bent out of shape when you call a 4" or 4.25" gun a Commander as Colt I believes owns the trademark for it.

Yup, I believe that goes back to a lawsuit that resulted in Springfield calling their 4.25 barrel 1911....Champion

Sorry. I posted in the RIA section so i assumed everyone knew I was referring to a RIA.

RIA terminology:
FS: Full size 5"
MS: Mid size (commander for some) 4.25"
CS: Compact size (officer for some) 3.5"
