Looking to buy a Wiley Clapp government in any condition.

So I found a birth year Colt. It's not in great condition but not bad either. Question is do I send it off for a redo? What to do? I think I want to keep it sorta stock. Sights have to be changed. Any ideas? I know you guys are really shy about sharing your opinions. BTW this is my only Colt...

This one is hard to let go of because the blueing is just incredible and the custom shop fitting work puts it on a whole other level from other Colts I’ve had. I can tell this pistol has been fired from light wear on the barrel hood and breech face, but it can’t have been more than one box of...

A while back I started a thread about getting a series 70 Colt to do a bit of gunsmith’ing on. Mainly a piece to allow me to learn without the hesitation I feel doing it on my higher end guns. I have done quite a bit of drop in work on my guns, especially my Sig’s and a few Beretta’s. But 1911’s...

SOLD I am regretfully posting my 1971 Large Letter 9mm Colt Government for sale. The pistol is in very good condition and comes in its factory box. I have a folder with several more photographs from the seller I purchased the pistol through, that I can email you if interested. The original...

Im guessing this not likely but you never know. I'm looking for a 9mm government model made in 1972. Don't care about finish wear, round count, box, etc.. Thanks!

Ordered one of these from Dan at BBP, got it yesterday, initial examination and i liked what i saw, i had already ordered a steel MSHG to replace the whatever it's made from originally, but it's not steel. Took it apart and soaked it for about 14 hours in USGI old style CLP, the good stuff...

Hello I have a used Colt Government Model Series 80 in 9mm for sale. Comes with soft case and 5 8 round magazines. I am the second owner and have no accurate round count prior to my ownership. I personally have not fired it much at all, maybe 100-200 rounds. I am only selling because something...

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to do a catch and release on this one. Daughter wrecked her car, luckily everyone involved is ok but she's gonna need help with a down payment on a vehicle. Asking what I paid for it - $1,500 shipped. I'm borrowing some of WWB's...

I acquired this Colt Government series 70 1911 a few weeks ago. I had big plans for it. But I know it is just gonna sit in the safe for years. Its from 1978 and I have the original box, styrofoam, manual, and 1 original Colt 7 rd mag. This Colt still has the period correct collet bushing...

SS base but was actually coated in PVD CrN coating. Hopefully some of you guys can see better detail now.... Enjoy, Chris

I just fired it again today. It is really good on target. It's a 2011 Colt Government XSE: It's not that I need a ambi-safety Colt since I am right handed and don't use the left-hand safety. o_O I like comparing a long-recoil vs. the standard-recoil rod. I can't feel any difference.

Picked up this Colt made in 1977. My birth year. Its super clean with all original packaging and mags. Its got the collet bushing unfortunately. Plan on sending it to a smith early next year for the following mods. 25 LPI checkering front strap Machine and install new sights. Blacked out...

Hi! Would anyone like to give an opinion on a pistol I am thinking of selling? I found this realized auction and wanted to ask if this would be a realistic value for a similar pistol? I have a Colt factory on the way to prove authenticity, but there should be nothing fishy about this one. It...
