I'd love to build a Ti based commander.. or get an S&W Scandium commander..

Probably not.. .. frames and slides I get from Caspian. Internals I order from brownells. The frame and slide are almost 400 alone (Ti frames are expensive too) .. then a good barrel is another 100+ I think I average close to 800 in parts by the time I'm done.. There are good deals on ebay, gunbroker, etc.. that can bring costs down, or find exactly what you are looking for already done.. I think of building 1911's like building computers.. its not usually cheaper, but you get exactly what you want with the parts that you like.
