Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts Bin" forums, not in these forums.
If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the Ammo forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SERIES 70 AND 80. I HAVE A COLT COMBAT COMMANDER AND THE NUMBERS START WITH A 70XXXX. IS MINE A SERIES 70?

ALSO WHAT ARE GOOD MAGS FOR THE 1911?

Check out the Series 80 post in the COLT thread. It goes over all the details.

Yes, yours is a series 70.

Good mags? Well you'll get alot of differing opinions here, but I use Wilson 47D's for duty use. Have never had a problem with them.

I think you'll find everyone is using, and promoting, the mags that have given no problems; problem is, you'll find lots of different mags giving those results! I use Metalform, McCormick, and Mec-Gar mags in various calibers, and they all work great for me.
