Wiley Clapp is one of the most respected names in handguns today. A former U.S. Marine and law enforcement officer, Clapp has written about guns in general and handguns in particular for almost 20 years and is a field editor for American Rifleman and handgun editor for Guns & Ammo.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Series '70 guns are the choice of died-in-the-wool .45 people and this model marks the return to production of the preferred lightweight Commander with no frills or floss. The controls--- thumb safety, slide lock, magazine catch---are the original small variety which are more than sufficient for defensive shooters. Since the majority of .45 shooters prefer long triggers and flat mainspring housings, this one has those two features. The grip safety is enlarged to better protect the web of the shooter's hand. A Colt produced beavertail safety graces this gun. The platinum standard in pistol sights is the classic Novak, the special edition has an advanced version of the LoMount design---extra-wide .170” notch, mated to a ramp front with gold bead. This system is particularly well-suited to a variety of reduced-light shooting scenarios.
