BarryinIN Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 One cool thing about any Colt made this year is the roll mark for the 100 year anniversary. Nothing gaudy; tastefully done. I might have to add another this year. Another stainless GM would be OK, and I don't have a Lwt Cmdr from Colt. btw-These are kinda neat if you wanted a Lwt Cmdr:http://www.coltsmfg.com/Catalog/SpecialEditions/21stCenturyCommander.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryinIN Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yeah, too bad they don't make that in a GM size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'd prefer a Series 70 myself.http://www.coltsmfg.com/Catalog/ColtPistols/ColtSeries70.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Differences are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryinIN Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Series 80 started the firing pin safety. It adds a little to the trigger pull, and extractors have been known to break at the half-moon cutout they have to clear the fp safety plunger.I have both. I haven't had any breakages, and triggers can be better or worse depending on the individual gun. I prefer Series 70, but I haven't passed any up only for being a Series 80, either.

G-MAN Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Didn't see any on Gunbroker....prices are???I like the model 70 on paper as well. Most of the "high end" 1911s (like the Ed Brown) use the Series 70 firing system. They meet the drop test through the use of stronger firing pin springs and lighter firing pins (titanium).
