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.

Colt Combat Elite Mark IV

Colt Combat Elite Mark IV

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello
I recently bought this gun. The serial number starts with the letters CG
I have seen some posts here and other places saying that this model and serial number mean that the gun was put together with parts from other models. Is this true? If it is true what does it mean, if anything. Seems to shoot ok, but I'm no expert.
I would also like to know the date of manufacture. The serial number is CG054865

thank you
John

No, not a parts gun. CEs serial number starts with CG.....mine does. A very nice Colt. You must call Colt with the serial number to get the year as published data ends a '85.

Where's the pics?!
