Good Morning all,
I sure like the looks of that Wiley Clapp Colt Commander, posted above. Stick a tritium front sight on it, add stock panels to suit individual tastes and it would be G2G for me.
In regards to a .45 for the young Marine, a 5", all steel version may be better suited.
If it can be swung money wise, a Les Baer "ulimate tactical carry model", which looks to me like a Thunder Ranch model without the markings,would be perfect.
Such a .45 would be outstanding for both work and play.
On another note, I did not anticipate such a reaction to my post about suggestions for training to accompany the gift.
Funny how something we feel strongly about strikes home with so many, who may or may not even be in the same line of work.
I like to see new and bright people with potential get set on the right path. Even if they do not realize they are getting a little extra attention.
Cheers!
