Do you mean in 9 mm? I ask because I have a Series '70 Combat Commander in .45

Do You? Look at it and tell me where you see it say Series 70.

From www.sightm1911.com
"The MKIV Series 70 Government Model Colt pistols were manufactured from 1970 to 1983 and have "70G" as a prefix in the serial numbers on the models made from 1970 to 1976. The models made from 1976 to 1980 have "G70" suffixes. Models made from 1979-1981 have "B70" suffixes and models made from 1981 to 1983 have "70B" prefixes. The Series 70 had, in addition to the Government model, a Series 70 Combat Commander, Series 70 Lightweight Commander, and Series 70 Combat Government. The Series 70 featured an accurizer barrel bushing for improved accuracy."
Just because it doesn't say "Series '70" on the slide doesn't mean it is not a Series '70. In my case the serial number starts with "70B".

OK then show me the Collet bushing on your Series 70 commander.
no collet bushing? NOT A SERIES 70. No such animal ever existed. All pre Series 80 commanders are either commanders or combat commanders. While produced during the Series 70 Governments time the Series 70 (improvements?) were never adopted to the Commander line of Colts.
Further all Series 70 Government models are marked as Series 70, NO COMMANDER OR COMBAT COMMANDER is marked as a Series 70, maybe because they are not.
Series 80 commanders and combat commander (including the 1991a1 version of the series 80) are marked Series 80.
Sorry but M1911.org got this one WRONG!
