[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Colt Wiley Clapp model commander

Posted: 1/30/2011 1:21:22 PM EDT

Well I have 350 rounds through the Wiley commander. Haven't cleaned it yet and have had 0 malfunctions of any kind. The accuracy has been great 1.5" for me is good. Getting really used to the wider rear sight notch too. I have nothing but good things to report about this pistol. I ended up paying 1150.00 plus tax for it and it has been worth the money so far.

I have one and love the fit/finish but have yet to shoot it. Does anyone see the value on this gun going up in the future?

I guess that because its a series 70 design and that it has some other upgrades (Novaks, checkered front strap and steel main spring housing) then it should at least hold its value well. Only time will tell if its gonna increase. But I plan on shooting the crap outs mine!

They are series 70 design for sure!! Talo and Wiley Clapp spec'd them that way. They are supposed to be based on the Col. Cooper early Gunsite pistol.

Yep definitely 70 series, that's why I bought mine. Never had any issues with mine reliability wise but it's in the shop getting a Dehorn, trigger, as well as some other things then finished to match my fullsize.

This thread probably needs a pic of one
