Reading through my American Rifleman and I noticed not just ads but new firearms notices for a Taurus Commander (actual name) 1911 (4.2" barrel with a full size grip) and the Officer (actual name) 1911 (3.5" barrel with a shortened grip), including a picture of the Officer on page 86.
I even see them listed online by Taurususa.com as "available":

Although I could find nothing that says whether the frames are steel or aluminium, the weights listed, 38 oz. for the Commander and 34.5 oz. for the Officer, would indicate steel. So I am still a little disappointed. Frames need to be aluminium for concealed carry IMO.
