What is the difference between government model, 70 model and 80 model 1911 handgun?
138309
The Series 70 1911 has three safeties - the grip safety, the thumb safety, and the half-cock notch - to ensure that the gun doesn't fire accidentally. (P.S. That notch is the one that keeps the hammer from being completely uncocked. Gotta love the filters on this site!)\n\nThe Series 80 adds a plunger that ties the trigger to the firing pin. It keeps the firing pin from progressing forward enough to ignite the primer, unless the trigger is pulled. The thought was that under some circumstances, a dropped 1911 could generate enough force to slide the firing pin forward and fire the gun without pulling the trigger. Adding the plunger is a bit like installing seatbelts on the prevent, though - it will increase safety, but only in that it helps avoid an already incredibly rare accident.\n\nIt's a little more of a pain to field- and detail-strip a Series 80 1911, and there MAY be a slight increase in the trigger pull compared to a comparable Series 70. In neither case is the difference a deal-breaker.

Do you mean the .45 acp  (auto Colt pistol) as chambered in the 1911 pistol or do you mean the .45 Colt revolver cartridge as chambered in various single action revolvers? Either way the .45 is a lot more powerful and the gun much bigger than a Derringer.

berretta is a superb shotgun, but if your wanting the same durability and save some money go for a remington. i have a 67' model remington 1100 12 guage, that is all original rite down to the rubber o-rings around the gas piston. never had a problem out of it, all i have had to do was keep it clean. still shoots as fast as a new one, and 100% dependable.

i have a model 70, clip fed semi auto.  it was bought new in the late 70's.  so i'm guessing your gun was made in the 50's or 60's.  neither one is worth much.

I've been shopping around for a 9mm as well and after much research I think I am going to purchase the newly released Smith & Wesson MP pistol. Its got superior ergonomics, and each MP pistol includes 3 different sized interchangeable palm swells to better the ergonomics! You can change the magazine release to either side in seconds, the slide release is ambidextrous, it has a steel rigid frame within the chassis, and and it has a built in rail!! \n"Reinforced polymer chassis, superior ergonomics, ambidextrous controls, proven safety features. The new standard in reliability when your job is to serve and protect and your life is on the line."

Not every state is backwards and forces their citizens to register their firearms like New York does.  How it compares with other countries is really hard to tell because I've heard stories about people in England loosing firearms before they were banned there.  There are places that the USSR sold weapons to during the cold war (and we did to).  While there is official numbers no one really knows how many firearms there are, the same as not everyone knows how many knives there are.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nBy your description is sounds like you have a Colt "Lightweight" Commander (sometimes called a Combat Commander). I do not know how you arrived at "fair" condition, but by your description this pulls down the value of your pistol. Again, by your description, it sounds like your Colt was made sometime in the 1970's. This vintage will add to the value, however, based on local pricing your Colt may pull $200-$300 but no more than $400 if the future buyer knows anything about pistols. \n\nGood luck.

Colt 1911 is my favorite because the designs is so good its been virtually unchanged for 95 years. Its one of the most reliable guns ever. It has excellent stopping power. always gets the job done and is just fun as hell to shoot

I prefer any 7.62 mm rifle with a Wilson Combat .45 cal 1911 style handgun. I prefer the greater knockdown power. Not a fan of 9mm handguns

browning made it a lever action (blr) up until 1982-84. other than that it's pretty much a piece of history.

A 32 caliber pistol (Smith and Wesson). The additional numbers may signify which model or where it was manufactured. There are plenty of online sites you can consult to find more info or you could try a gun shop.

I have an HKUSP40, bought one of the stainless slide models years ago, they're no longer available, I've put close to 10,000 rounds thru it in 10 years time, replaced the recoil spring once. It is the most consistant, accurate shooting pistol I own.It will eat any ammo you put thru it except Blazer aluminum cased and Wolf steel cased ammo. At one time it was my daily carry pistol, and I still will carry it on occasion. It comes with 2 10 round magazines, but 13 round magazines are available for it.It's a very easy to maintain firearm, take down takes about 10 seconds, reassembly takes about 15 seconds.

These were a variation of the old Stevens model 94 single shot shotgun. Revelation was a trade name for Western Auto. They were made from about 1929 into the 1970's if memory serves me well. In excellent condition, I am afraid you would not get more than $100 for it. Shoot it and enjoy it, that is the real value.

It is the Beretta 92SB-F, Beretta 92FS, Beretta 92G, and/or Beretta 92FS Inox. \nThe Beretta pistols are a series of semi-automatic, locked-breech delayed recoil operated, double/single action pistols, chambered for the 9 mm Parabellum cartridge, designed and manufactured by Beretta.\nThe Beretta 96 is a version that uses the .40 S&W cartridge. The slide, barrel and magazine of the Beretta 96 have been adapted to this calibre.

I am going to say Browning. They are a little pricier than the Remington's which are also great guns by the way but the Browning line of guns are so smooth and accurate. I have a Browning 270 BLR and love it. I have shot many different guns in all configurations but this is my all out favorite. It is fast and flat shooting and accurate and silky smooth with the lever , trigger and the hammer. It has the lever safety and also the folding hammer and half cocked safety so that you can feel sure the gun will not accidentally fire and it is a beautiful looking gun too. Hope I have been helpful.

I think they quit making the 28 a year or so ago, again. It's been on and off. They always sold for more than the 12 or 20. Book price shows the 28 or .410 as $27 more than a comparable 12, 16, or 20 ga.  I just picked up a new 870 Express 12 ga. 3" magnum with laminated stock at Dick's Sporting Goods for $190.00, total w/tax after $30 rebate from Remington and $25 Dick's gift card.
