    I recently picked up 2 new Colt 1911's... a Wiley Clapp commander and the newest of the bunch a Two Tone full sized rail gun.

    Now I know the Wiley Clapp was "finished" outside but the rail gun is all Colt. I am very impressed with the fit and finish of the gun overall. I have several models of Colt 1911's from standard model series 80's to a Gold cup...I also have SA's, Kimbers and a Les Baer.

    This new rail gun is as tight and well fitting as any 1911 I own. The fit and finish is perfect and I really like the built in rail...better sights than most Colts usually come with too, ambi safety real wood grips...the whole 9 yards

    I just wanted to comment on what looks like good things coming out of Colt...:rockwoot:

    And before someone says it...I don't have a digital camera.(too old fashioned):n00b:

    Both nice purchaces*** but I realy like that Wiley Clapp commander. I've been eyeballing that one for a bit. I just can't seem to drop the hammer for it. It's a little pricey. My local shop had it for around $1300 and change. Post a review on how it shoots. That may help me to put a pry bar in my wallet and buy the thing.

    By the way, find a friend with a digital camera so we can see some pics!!!!!!!!!!

    I put about 50 rounds throught the Wiley...dead nuts on and shot like a dream,,both it and the rail gun have national match barrels.

    I am tempted to carry the Wiley because it fits so good but I hate the thought of marking it up with holster wear...I picked mine up in the $1150 range....so get out the crow bar you will love it.:draw:
