The Official Status Update Thread: Part 92 - Neverending Winter

That's what I thought. Cant remember the difference between the 70 and 80. Thank you for re-affirming my thought!

80 series has more involved trigger safety mechanism. Firing pin safety. It puts more involvement in the process and requires a bit more pressure on the trigger.
The newer Colts are just not that well made anymore. For the price you get so much more in an RO or a loaded.

I sold all my Colts.

You could buy 2 Glocks for the same money!!!!

So you would rather go to the big dance with to homely hefty chick's instead of one hot babe...........

Just trying to talk DB out of buying an obsolete weapon!!!!!

I am having a hard time deciding between stainless or parkerized

Stainless is ubber cool. It wears very well. Parkerized is cool as well but it will show wear after a while.
I have a seriously loved on loaded in parkerized finish. It is showing EDC wear.

The modern stuff is black & plastic, you don't want an Old Guys Gun do ya????

Gotta agree, go with the stainless if you can find one.

Love me some stainless revolvers, they look as good now as when they were built.

[SEIndSAM]

Very Nice!!!

 

[db1959]

Of course the ones I want cost more than I budgeted. Damn my stupid budget

 

[churchmouse]

Yup, that is the one....

 

[SEIndSAM]

What kind of wood is those grips???

 

[db1959]

I need to hit the stores and see how they feel. My friend has a Colt (forgot which model) and it felt good in the hand and even gooder to shoot

 

[churchmouse]

I have one in parkerized. It has been through the Spingfield armory custom shop. You will not shoot a nicer 1911.
