TALO Wiley Clapp Commander (Ser 70) or Colt Lightweight Commander (Ser 80) ?

[ctkenc]

Going to look at a TALO Wiley Clapp Commander 1911, which, as I understand it, has the Ser 70 Safety.
Wondering if it would be smarter to look at a regular Colt Lightweight Commander 1911 with the Ser 80 Safety ?
I think the two weigh about the same and have roughly the identical dimensions etc.
The only thing the Wiley Clapp seems to have is the gold Bead Front Sight and a few other minor changes (Front Strap and special Grips, which I'm not that keen on anyway.)
Any thoughts or recommendations?
I do not have much experience with Colt 1911's.

Thanks
Ken

PS: am also looking at a Ser 80 Commander (NOT Lightweight) and wonder if maybe the Non-Lightweight is easier to shoot well due to less felt recoil because it is not lightweight ?

70s could fire when dropped and 80s are not supposed to fire - don't know if it matters other than a 70 series can usually achieve a better trigger pull easier. Traditionalists want 70 and most of us don't care.

I have looked at one for quite a while and cannot seem to want it - they aren't good looking to me at all.

I'd go for a plain Commander (non-XSE series).

I have a brand new WC 21st Century Commander and it shoots perfect right out of the box:

200 rd. Federal 230 gr. FMJ
200 rd. Fiocchi 230 gr. FMJ
100 rd. Remington Golden Saber 185 gr. HPJ
50 rd. Federal HST +P 230 gr. HPJ

Magazines combination used:

Wilson Combat 47D 8-round
Colt Originals 7-round
Kimber 8-round
Chip McCormick shooting star 8-round

0-MALFUNCTIONS 0-FTF 0-FTE !

This is my new best friend for everyday carry!

I highly recommend you this gun.
