Colt MKIV Series 70

Bling! Heh, i scored this pistol yesterday and felt the need to share. I found a good deal from a great person who was in need for my Mini-14, so we traded.

Vintage 1973

Definitely a better choice in a survival gun than the Mini-14 was. If nothing else you can use it as a signal mirror to get help!

Seriously, great-looking pistola. Now good luck keeping fingerprints off of it.

 

[Coach Z]

I think you got a great deal and that is a great looking 1911! CONGRATS!!!

Thanks! Ya know the nice thing about this is the guy I traded with is perfectly happy too so i have no need for guilt.

Nice...

If it was mine,I would pimp it out with Mother of Pearl grips.Then I would get a gold tooth in the front.lol Very nice Pistola.

 

[straight-shooter]

I'm not sure about the gold tooth in the front. Maybe i'll just put on some nice red pants and cowboy boots, yellow shirt and a feather in my hat while at the range.

Seriously though, i'm considering some nice Colt Cocobolo grips with the medallion.

Did you at least buy him dinner?

Did you at least buy him dinner?

Honestly I didn't. I had to keep the deal in my favor.

I wasn't sure if i was going to like the nickel finish but after having it just a couple days, it growing on me nicely.
