....This particular pistol is one that Colt Re-Issued a few years ago from the Colt Custom Shop. I purchased this pistol with the intent of modifying a brand new blued Series 70 Colt.
The polished blued flats on the carbon steel pistols are what the Colts are highly noted for, and the Series 70 is no exception. This pistol has excellent tolerances of fit with the frame to slide and barrel lockup.
....I eliminated the long spur hammer in favor of the Nowlin "Speed Demon", I also replaced the factory trigger with the fitted Dlask, which has a light Magnesium Shoe, and Titanium Stirrup. Other items I added was the EGW Sear, Briley Disconnector, Nowlin Full Length Guide Rod with reversed plug, Wolff Springs, a King's Thumb Safety, and a fitted Ed Brown Beavertail High Ride Grip Safety.
.... The trigger now breaks at 3 lbs., with almost zero take up and zero overtravel.
....The grip maker that made my Ivory Grips :
