70 Series Combat Commander

[AllAmerican]

I had one in the 70s. They did not seem as common as the Commander, but afaik were a standard catalog listing. Came with a solid bushing as opposed to the collet on the Gov't and Gold Cup models.

The circled area here is what I am talking about. I have since looked at a "lot" of these older commanders and have not seen the word (Model) on any of them...... This one was made in 1978. It shoots like a new one, but sights are hard to see.

The word "Model" is common if not standard on a gun for that vintage. I looked through the photo catalogue I have gathered over the years and every Combat Commander has a the word "Model" after it as do many of the Lightweights that I have photographs of.

As I said before, I believe it's standard for your gun... or as standard as anything Colt has made can be.

That is good news! Thanks for the information. I really like the pistol.
