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.
Wiley Clapp has done extensive experimenting with grip design and has developed the Tactical Oval grip to improve control with two simple panels of wood. Note the Roper-inspired checkering pattern that gets the fingers into the business of aiming the pistol. Precise frontstrap checkering locks the gun in the shooter's grasp, but no maker has ever offered it on an affordable pistol. That is, until now. Famous metalsmith Pete Single has signed on to perfectly check every one of these fine new guns in his own 25 lpi pattern. And they come in their own special serial number range.
