what's the consensus on the Colt Wiley Clapp govt model ?
A local shop has one and it looks pretty nice.

I say go for it!  I was strongly considering one, but decided to get just a plain jane series 70 and have it worked over to my liking down the road (I Like the standard sights, no front checkering, and the non slanted slide serrations.)

They are GTG.   I had one, great shooter and a great gift to my brother who was lusting after it.

That was his first 1911, he now owns several.

It's the pistol I wanted to buy if I could've found one.

I bought a combat elite instead since it was available at the time.

My dad has one and I shot it a few times.  They're really nice, I like the finish on them.

God knows I love mine dearly. While customized, nothing was done, or needed, to make it the 100% reliable that its been out of the box.

I purchased mine from a member here, unfired.  I shot it and it had random ejections.  I replaced the firing pin stop since the original was very loose.  Hopefully, that will fix the brass to the face, etc.   I replaced the grip safety since it was loose and had machining marks and didn't follow the lines of the frame neatly.  Lastly, I replaced the Novak sights and grips to make it a shooter.  Pics to follow after I get new grip screws.  For the money, I would have bought another Dan Wesson, but I wanted Colt for my birthday.

Nice!

Wanna get together & have a WC shooting day?

I'll bring my Commander. I've only been able to shoot 2 mags through mine so far.

Did Colt hard chrome the frame?
I really like the two tone and would buy a Combat Elite IF Colt offered it as a 70 series

I hope Colt offers some more 70 series for 2016 but I doubt it given their financial woes
If not I am picking up the new SA MC Operator
