1911 Colt Commander

Nickel Silver, Series 70, Colt Combat Commander, 45 ACP, fitted with Trijicon Sights and Diamond Checkered Grip.coltcom1Series 70, 1911’s are difficult to find ever since the Series 80 was introduced in 1983. Main modifications:  a blocker plunger, spring, and lever as extra parts.
Some complain that the extra parts complicate obtaining a quality trigger pull, while others allege that this is no so, and the Series 80 trigger can be just as acceptable as one without the block. These modification also require a unique Firing Pin and Extractor, to accept the passage of the Firing Pin Block Plunger.
