Just threw some VZ grips on the Loaded. They are black cherry in color, might try the black/sand color next time

Nice! Man that thing is in good shape! Is the pistol new?

I have had it since May. It is strictly a range gun and I take really good care of it because I got it for graduating college. Not that I don't take good care of my other guns but the Loaded gets special attention

You are doing a great job! She's a looker!

 

[Springer]

Thanks. It is a shooter as well, it is the most accurate handgun I own.

I have become a 1911 convert thanks to my new Springfield, I also go a new pocket gun on the same platform with the Sig Sauer P938.

Thanks!

The 1924 is refinished, it was in very bad shape when I picked it up, not even functioning. It was my carry gun for years after that. The 1927 is the original Colt blue.

My Colts

Beauties! I notice that they are both government models, but I noticed quite a few differences between the two. Care to highlight the differences for me? I don't own a Colt, but would love to and love to learn more about them.

One is a Series 70 the other a Series 80. The link below has information and photos that do a good job of explaining the differences. Certainly better than I can do.
