The Rifleman did a feature with Clapp describing how that particular design came about. I think it was 3 or 4 months age. It is appearent that a lot of hard won savy went into the build. He is wiley.
How did I miss this thread? Anyway if you can afford it go with the Colt, a very nice pistol with all the custom features and if you decide to sell it, it says Colt. Kimbers are a dime a dozen now. Just be sure to really shop around, this particular pistol is all over the map as far as what dealers are charging for it.

I wish I had a dollar for every old thread I've reanimated. You know, you do a search and something interesting comes up and you respond to it without looking at the date and, BAM, you are Dr. Frankenstein himself bringing the dead back to life.
