I received my Series 70 Colt 1911 in early April of this year. The 1911 is a "must-have", "bucket-list" pistol for me. Not just because it should be, but because I actually used and carried one on occasion when I was in the Army. I actually had qualified with one. I wanted to get one that was as close to the M1911A1 I had in 69-70 and the Series 70 is as close as it gets in a new 1911. The only parts that are not correct are the sights (I replaced the stocks with correct GI brown nylon stocks and a correct Colt curved MSH with lanyard loop I found on eBay). But the real joy in owning this pistol is firing it at the range. With the design of the trigger system and not having the firing pin safety mechanisms, it is the easiest shooting pistol imaginable. I have had family and friends fire the pistol and every one of them have been on target within the first 2 rounds. It's as close to cheating as you can get. My Colt is flawless, beautifully and faithfully engineered and executed to honor John Browning and everyone who ever held one in their hand in service to our country. What a privilege and joy to own this firearm.
