Wiley Clapp Series 70 Government & LW Commander

I have to stress how nice the commander is. I have been waiting LONG for the return of the LW commander (NOT the NSE series). This is a very well put together 1911 commander, The only thing I would change on it would be night sights. DEFINITELY on my HAVE list. The full size will be in production shortly.

Browning

1911-22 (This is one strange 1911, it is about 75% the size of a regular 1911, feels like a toy in the hand)

sparhawk I hope you do have Nighthawk and Wilson Combat photos too! Man the Sig 1911's are not bad. That Fastback Carry Nightmare is dope.... only if it had some bottom rails. Thanks for pics!
 
I like the 5" Wiley Clapp model. It has modern ergonomic refinements like the beavertail and Novak sights, but with traditional slide serrations and rollmark. Personally, I would choose a slightly higher profile ambi safety, but that is easy to fix.

Sig finally got wise and started using skeletonized triggers!

Why? Skeletonizing is unnecessary with aluminum triggers. It was originally used with heavier steel triggers to lighten them to prevent doubling.

Its actually 85% the size of a regular 1911. Its a perfect fit for my 11 year old boy. I agree it does feel like a toy, being so light and small. It shoots really well at 25 yards, as you would expect from a browning. One problem I had with it is the recoil spring guide. Its made of plastic and it broke after about 300 rounds. I brought it back to Cabelas and the exchanged it for me. Other than that I'm real happy with it .
