I’m Looking at a DW Guardian, Colt CCU and Colt WC Commander. Main use would be carrying/general plinking.

Thoughts on the above options? The DW is the nicest in my mind but I’m open to other options.

Right now I strongly lean towards the Wiley Clapp but can be persuaded.

You make a compelling argument.

I really like the blued finish but amp afraid of how it’ll wear with a lot of carry.

Have a look at the DW ECP, aluminium round biutt frame, bull barrel, flat top serrated slide, great sights.
Slide has a different design, but it looks good in real life....

I would go with the DW.
Great value in a 1911.

My money would go to a 9mm Colt LW Commander 1st or Dan Wesson Guardian in 9mm.  I like shooting 9mm 1911's.

Nothing wrong with honest holster wear, but I had my slide refinished in ionbond.

I have a WC Commander. Great shooter. Zero issues with it.

Probably my favorite pistol that I own.

Question for anyone that wants to chime in: how’s the recoil/shootability of alloy framed 1911’s?

I tend to shoot the hell out of my guns and would prefer something enjoyable.
