Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Commander is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, and recoil-operated handgun based on the John M. Browning–designed M1911. It was the first mass-produced American pistol with an aluminium alloy frame and the first Colt pistol to be chambered in 9mm Parabellum. Colt made several variations of the Commander and offered it in .45 ACP and .38 Super chamberings. Other variants followed with different degrees of factory accurizing and materials. The Colt Commander Model was first produced in 1949 as a lightweight variation of the popular Colt Model 1911 automatic pistol. It was produced in a new aluminum alloy that made it significantly lighter than the typical all-steel construction. In 1970 an all-steel version appeared, known as the Combat Commander. The Commander Model was produced in 3 different calibers, and sold well as the "Lightweight Colt Auto".
Clapp’s dedication to the Second Amendment has also resulted in various pistols, from major gun makers, bearing his name. A Colt 1911 chambered in 9 mm is one of them, but the company currently lists four versions—with .45 ACP available—in a special series in honor of the writer. A Ruger revolver also wears his name, the Wiley Clapp GP100, available through Lipseys. Clapp is a decorated Marine who served in Vietnam. After leaving the U.S. military he joined the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, where he spent 18 years protecting and serving California residents. After retiring from law enforcement, he embarked on a writing and editing career that continues to this day.
