Got my new Colt Series 70 about a week ago. Just figured I'd share some pictures of it with ya guys.

 

 

 

Feel free to discuss why the Series 70 is by far the best 1911 ever

Because it's just as John M Browning made it, without the extra lever, spring and plunger.

I got the same one. it's a great gun and an excellent base if you ever decide to modify .

I have two - a government model and a gold cup. They are great!

No need for modifications for me. I do not have large webbing in my hand, so no need to put a beaver tail on it which makes you have to put what I call the tic-tac hammer on it. My gunsmith is a 1911 genius, so I will be having the trigger worked on slightly and he said he can better fit the extractor, but I fell in love on valentines day hen I picked her up they way she is.

Congrats!!! Everybody who loves 1911's should have a Colt.

Where did you get it from if you don't mind me asking? I've been looking all over for one of these and refuse to pay some crazy prices I see on GB

This is my first and I am sure there will be more in the future. I have a feeling another Series 70 might be my second one as well. It just fits and works in my hands in the right way.

great, great gun Kevin. my pops got the same exact gun. GREAT GUN

+100 that transfer linkage F's up the trigger of a good pistol. My Series 80 has that BS removed and a spacer plate installed.

Blasphamy Chris....Leave that pistol just as it is. The height of Colt production.

 

OP what year was it made?

How are they Chris? Nice as the '70's vintage pistols?

The Series 70 to me is one of the few remaining "correct" 1911A1 pistols on the market. I feel like most of the ones out there are either too loose, too tight or just plain too expensive. Great in stock form and not *so* valuable/collectible that it'd be a shame to modify.

 

And that's the way to wear it. Everyone should have one and wear it like that.

Colt 1911..............'The Fist Of God".

I love it. Fit and quality is top notch. The only thing that gets me is the hammer bite. I need to get a bobbed or commander hammer. I want to keep the look original (i.e. nothing skeletonized).

BTW Ray Ray I sold the Kel-Tec and my G19 to fund this one.

 

You've chosen wisely sir.

Oh and I sold them to my wife, so turns out I still get to use them when ever I want.
