Colt wiley clapp commander review

Blued Steel and Stainless Steel
Models Available in Both
9 mm Parabellum and .45 ACP

We test a Wiley Clapp stainless Commander and a blued Combat Commander both chambered in .45 ACP

by Joe Gorman

The reason I own Colt Commanders is because they maintain a Government model's grip size, magazine capacity and reliability while shaving 3/4 of an inch from the barrel and slide, thus increasing the concealability, all without sacrificing accuracy, at least in my hands.

I also think the balance is a bit better with a Commander vs a Government too. In other words, the Colt Commander is just right for concealed carry.

Recently, Colt announced they were releasing two new Commanders: A new Wiley Clapp stainless Commander and a blued Combat Commander both chambered in .45 ACP (the Combat Commander is also available in 9 mm).
