Hey all
I am new to 1911's and have a couple of questions. I have done a little background reading and have decided to purchase a Colt Rail Gun (1980RG) and a Colt Series 70 in Stainless Steel. I have found that in addition to the original production of the Series 70 there was a "reproduction" run more recently. I can't find any noticeable differences between the original and reproductions. Are there? I am looking for guns to carry and shoot fairly often, not for sitting in a safe or living on a nightstand, if that matters. Any guidance in the differences between original and reproduction Series 70 would be appreciated. Thanks! |

The slide will have some of the machining and I think the firing pin of the series 80 but not the other parts in the frame |
