Colt Defender Plus

[Ruggles]

I just put a used Colt Defender Plus in layaway. Am I right in assuming that it's standard magazine is the same as the Govt/Commander (as opposed to a compact magazine). I also assume that the grip would be the same size as the Commander/Govt. I guess what I am asking is everything the same size on the receiver with the slide being the only difference?

Any other experiences or info on this handgun would be great. Thanks in advance for your help.

wrong. the frame is also smaller.

I picked it up and the frame is the same size as a Commander/Govt but the barrel is only 3". I already put on a full size set of grips to replace those rubber Houge grips and full size magazines fit fine. The Defender but not the Defender Plus have a smaller frame.:)
