Boggus Deal Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Not got to shoot one but have handled a couple at shows. Other than the plastic trigger, I like it. Good sights, thumb safety, front strap checkering, metal mainspring housing, if I remember correctly. Stocks are too thick for my tastes but an easy fix. No guide rod.

Blackfoot Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Strange that they call it a "government model". Blackfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggus Deal Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I have, WBT. Did not get to spend a lot of time with him but he seems like a down to earth, nice guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Frank Norfleet Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Colt marketing at its best. The model is not named after a shooter, but a gun writer. But it does have some features that I really like and might make a good pistol to live in my truck for every day shooting. JFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I've known Wiley casually for 30+ years. He used to shoot a good bit. His health has relegated him to only writing and some testing in recent years. He is a good friend of my good friend Wayne Novak. That is our connection.
