PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
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 your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers 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.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

Series 70 Reissue Stainless
Did colt ever make the original 70 series in stainless? I've thought about getting one but I don't recall seeing an original in that configuration.

Ahhh...............yes, there might be a 'few' S&W N frames 'n stuff in there somewhere. I try to rotate them a bit so each gets a few trips to the range each year.

No. Colt introduced SS around 1984 by which time the Series-80 firing system had been deployed. This is why I want the new Series 70 SS. A gun that was never built. O.K. The new ones have better sights, nylon MSH, blah, blah, blah. Still a nice gun.

I had one and sold it to a nephew, so I don't have it in my hands now. Not 100% sure that the MSH was Nylon. On the other hand that is like a $40 part. Save whatever came with the gun.
