Have i ever told you my Brother is awesome sometimes?
To keep it short and simple... We had a job the other day to install some Equipment, customer wanted to know if he could trade some of the cost. Bro's call its his guys doing the work. Took a look at what he had, asked me what i thought.... And the rest is history.
My first love has always be a M1911A1. First pistol i ever shot. did a 332 out of 340.
Now i have this....

research turned up this nice tidbit:
"I'll tell you something neat about the gun. It has a Series 80 serial number but it's one of the early ones that didn't have the damned firing pin block, like a Series 70 for a Series 80 price. And, it's not a Commander; it's a Combat Commander – all steel frame." I have since been told that these guns are actually Series 70 guns which got the “80BS…” serial numbers because of record-keeping issues at Colt, and not because they are actually Series 80 guns. It has no Series 80 parts or characteristics."
Now i just need to clear off my desk real quick on Tuesday so i can go put a couple in the Coke Bottle.
Did i mention i love this gun?
