I bought the same gun I nickle in 1974 for 340 bucks.the original bushing lasted 11 years and 3000 rounds.It was the most accurate fixed sight handgun I've ever shot .I still have it and enjoy it.
I bought a blued one in 76 and shot factory ammo and some fairly hot reloads through it, don't know how many rounds I put through it,but, it was a lot. Never had a minute of trouble with it. Recently acquired two more,one us blue with the collet bushing and the other one is stainless with a solid bushing. I did order a collet bushing off of ebay. They both shoot just fine.
Gettin my first 1911 in about 2 month for my 21st bday from SA (A1) already have it on layaway, can tell just from having it in my hands that its well worth the $ and seeing from your recommendation i think i made an excellent choice lol already have a glock but theres nothing like a 1911. Beautiful handgun you have there sir
When I saw the front of the video I thought it was going to be one of the New called "Series 70 models". btu when I saw the words "Manufactured in 1978" , aroused my interest in it. And I sai "oh an Authentic series 70 colt pistol".
Love this gun, my first and so far only 1911. Best one out there. Sights suck, but otherwise as good as it gets. Mine is blued steel basic model. Someday need to get a good late model with decent sights.
When I think of a 1911 this comes to mind ...I had to get this one in my collection it has only been shot twice some nights I just take it out of the case and I adore it like im looking at a womans legs in high heels
I have two of these, one is a Colt MK IV Series 70 Gold Cup National Match, and the other is a Colt MK IV Series 70 Government Model with Colt adjustable sights and I also have a Colt Combat Commander. All are .45 ACP's. Good video.
My first pistol was this pistol. It now has over 10 thousand rounds threw it. I broke the slide release twice in the time. Other than that I don't remember it missing a lick. I bought it in Boiser City Louisiana in 1978. I paid......285.00 for it. I still have the tag. I don't carry it anymore. I went the route of the Kimber Custom Royal.
Had a trigger job done on it, and installed the new bushing. Need to get it to the range to see how it shoots. Of course, I kept the original parts (trigger and bushing) to be able to restore it to its original configuration.
@@jenniferbradshaw298 Look for an older Browning BDA 380. Not always; cheap,, but a quality Browning design. SA/DA with de-cocker. Not pocket, necessarily, but very comfortable to shoot. www.gunbroker.com/item/801931662 is one on GunBroker, for example. Look for some reviews in RU-vid. I gave one (two actually) to my daughter. I have a safequeen, and an 84BB variant. (Hope this helps.)
My moms late husband owned one and when he passed gave it to my mom but forgot to take out the bullets of the clip and the spring dosent go back up anymore
Oh Mr. patriot!!!! You own a REALLY great, awesome and beautiful gun. If I crawl until your house, do you sell to me that jewel? Hahahahaha.... I'm joking. My vivid compliments for your video and for the gun. Have a good life and enjoy it! Thumbs up. ;-) Dave from Italy.
Beautiful piece. Have you done anymore research as to the value of this particular gun? I happen to have come into what is at the very least a very similar gun. Gold Match Government model series 70 in nickel original box/paperwork and tools with 3 factory mags, and am having a hard time putting a value on it.
Check complete auctions on Gunbroker to see what they sold for. That can give you an idea. Check the auctions that actually finished with bids. Thanks for watching.
Hi. I have a Series 70 commander Colt Nickle finish. It looks like someone took some steel wool to it for some reason. Question:::: Is it possible to change the finish on it?? I'd greatly appreciate your knowledge on this matter. Very Sincerely Yours, JAMES.
I would not think that a threaded barrel for a suppressor would be common for that gun. I only had a trigger job done and changed the barrel bushing. Thanks for watching.
Ok, first of all. No ones going to take you seriously on firearm advice if your name includes "Call Of Duty" in it. Second of all, use actual words "u" and "ur" aren't words. Lastly, 21, because that's when I can legally conceal carry in my state, and besides how could a freshman in high school, without a job, afford a .45?
Douglas Zavala I bought it on Gunbroker a number of years ago on a penny auction, no reserve. Got it for $800 and change - quite a deal. The seller was local to me so I picked it up in person and I could tell he was not pleased that it sold for so little. Good luck on getting one. Thanks for watching.
Awesome! That is beautiful! I’m in love with the 1911, I think it’s the most beautiful gun in the world! Would you check out my channel and the 1911 I’m building?
