Kimber = Pro Series
Springfield = Champion
Colt = Commander (couldn't resist)
STI
Dan Wesson

For the parts alone, you will have to look pretty hard to find anything better than Caspian.
Most Gunsmiths and high end companies will have a full size, Commander, Officers size represented.

Smith & Wesson still offers a 4" or 4.25" barrel model as well.

My bad. I forgot to add them to the list. It would almost have been easier to list who didn't make one. lol

Re: who makes a govt size frame/ commader size slide
The only manufacturer making a Govt. frame and Commander-length slide is STI. The STI Ranger II's are actual Govt. frames, not Commander frames.
Note that a Commander frame and a Govt. frame are two different animals. They differ slightly.
Also note that 4" is not a Commander. 4.25" is a Commander.
Nit-picking, I know, but just wanted to clarify.

Valid points. Not sure it matters a whole lot though it depends somewhat on what the OP wants to do.

Also believe LB makes a Commander frame/Gov slide and they have known issues with slingshotting. Usually better off running a Commander frame/slide (VIS and frame rails moved back a little).
