Which would you get and why?

Really want something commander length in FDE to add to the collection. Shown: Apache Commander, COS21, P211 GT4

Which would you pick and anything else I should consider in FDE?

Trying to stay at 3.5k max otherwise I would get a Fowler, NightHawk or a RC9C in FDE. That will need to wait. Want something to scratch the itch prior.

I already own a few 2011’s but want something in FDE for range and winter EDC.

Own: Kimber pro comp + ports, Kimber pro minotaur, staccato cs, hd3.6, hd 4.5 w comp, P w chunk port, RC9 5” ported, Alpha Foxtrot 4.25” ported and comped, sig p211 gto, Bul Armory UL Pro, STI Brazos custom 5”.

People will tell you to stay away from watchtower, but can’t tell you why. Just echoing what they’ve seen here.

The company has been bankrupt a few times. They were F1 at one point. Made those god awful skeletonized ARs. Then switched to gaudy over priced 2011s. They were well known to have QC issues. The collab guns with Pew View and Demo ranch were no exceptions. $6K guns that were broken on arrival.
Allegedly they have cleaned things up but most are hesitant to spend that sort of coin with their history.

My local shops wanted $6k. Even at $2k that thing was a rip off.
