| Looking at a colt commander, model #04691. Picture shows series 80 on the slide but in doing research, it appears to be a 1991 series, which is it? Dont know much about colt so hopefully not a dumb question. |

Nothing wrong with the "new" 1991's---I own 2. The main complaint is with the older ones--1990's production---which were crudely finished---the new ones are equivelent to the older MkIV series. ALL 1991's are series 80---which denotes the firing pin safety----as were the MkIV's. All depends on you're looking for--1991's don't have the swoopy beavertails or huge mag wells-----they are good solid gun on their own or as the base for a custom gun. Mine are box stock other that switching the grips between my 2 guns---with no plans on changing anything. My blued Commander has a more tactical look with the rubber grips off my stainless Gov't model-----and stainless Gov't is one good lookin piece with the rosewood grips off the blued model. http://www.coltsmfg.com/cmci/1991.asp |
