COLT COMBAT COMMANDER

Overview

Up for sale is a highly collectible piece of Colt history: a vintage, second-year production **Colt Combat Commander** manufactured in **1972** (Serial Number: 70SC12623). This classic firearm features the desirable all-steel frame and slide, offering the perfect weight and balance compared to its lightweight aluminum counterparts. It wears the scarce, factory-authentic **Satin Nickel finish** (indicated by the correct "70SC" serial prefix), which provides a unique, elegant matte look that stands out in any collection.The "Series 70" Misnomer: While enthusiasts frequently call these "Series 70 Commanders" due to the 1970s production era and the "70" in the serial number, they do not feature the famous Series 70 collet split-bushing found on full-sized Government models. They use a standard barrel bushing but are highly sought after by shooters because they lack the complex Series 80 firing pin safety plunger, yielding a much crisper, cleaner trigger pull.Manufacturer: COLTModel: COMBAT COMMANDERCaliber: .45 ACPMagazines: 1-8 ROUNDSights: FIXED Weight: 36.2 OZOverall Length: 7.5"Barrel Length: 4.5"SERIAL NUMBER: 70SC12623SKU NUMBER: DJ1041184
