I like my Blued O1991, but then again it was only $650 when Colt was foundering a couple years back.

I guess it's just me, but certain product names just turn me off, despite what the product is. Like 'Muscle Milk'...that just sounds gross.

Well, it's the same with that model. No offense the aforementioned gunwriter, but the idea of having a gun with than name shys me off.

"Hey man, what model Colt 1911 ya' got there?"
"I got the Clapp!"

I call her NightClapp.

Good to hear the positivity! I'm thinking a stainless Competition 38 Super is going to be the next toy.

Love my plain jane Colt Super 38 Government.

Great trigger right of the box. I don’t want to even touch it...

I have a Wiley Clapp CCO that I really like (considering that my other 1911’s are from Wilson’s that’s saying something). I carry the slightly modified (ambidextrous safety, night sights and armor tough finish) Colt when I don’t want to put too much wear and tear on one of the Wilson’s. The Colt came with the dual spring system and I cannot seem to find replacement springs from Colt. I know that this is a minor gripe, but geesh Louise, it is an annoyance. Other than that, for the money spent, I’m happy.
