Did you do a naked slide treatment on this or is it just my crappy cell phone image that I'm seeing?! I love those Colt commanders especially the Wiley Clapp edition!!! Beautiful piece you have there.
The right side of the WC's are naked.

Just acquired the S70. Will be going off for an overhaul soon.
S80 will be incoming from Wilson Combat any day now.
PM-9 is just too damn fun to shoot.

Its the other side of the slide I am thinking of. I rarely see the right side of the slide on those guns, but now I want one really bad!!!!
Bill, the Colt Special Combat Government is extremely nice. What can you tell us about that gun?
Bad picture of a good gun: Dan Wesson Valor. Round count somewhere north of 10k -- based on the number of 1,000-round case boxes I've thrown in the recycle bin.

I've been thinking about the Range Officer for quite a while, so this morning I decided to buy one. The 9mm version is getting a lot of attention, and is not doubt very nice to shoot, but I snagged a .45.
It seems the 9mm is selling for the price that the .45 used to go for, and the .45 model has come down. I paid $800 for an un-pawed, pristine NIB one and am good with that.
As I was finishing up at the gun store, I thought, hey, a pair of VZ grips like the TRPs have would be good to put on this gun. So I asked if they had VZ grips, which they did, so I grabbed a grey set and put them on the gun as soon as I got it home.
I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with the Range Officer pretty much as-is. The obvious things like frontstrap grip tape, a fiber optic front sight, an extended mag release, and a magwell may all come into play if I shoot matches with it. But the gun looks like it will be a solid shooter, as advertised.
