Optic cut Commander size options?

Help Me

I've recently come to the conclusion that I want an optic on at least one of my carry 1911s, ideally I'd like a lightweight Commander size with no rail for under $2k, but I know that's kind of a tall order

Seems like Springfield might be my best option but I don't know which one to get. I currently have an Emissary that's too heavy and bulky to carry IWB, the Ronin is an option, I like the bobtail grip of the TRP but it has a rail which I don't want. Dan Wesson might also work, but it seems like optic cut models are hard to find and add a lot of cost. Anyone else got suggestions?
