Title: NEW TOY NEW TOY NEW TOY
Post by: addicted on October 01, 2009, 12:12:16 PM: I thought I would celebrate being UN-banned from huntwa by showing you guys my new toy. Just picked it up off a new buddy of mine who has owned it for around 20 years and it is in almost new condition. He said he didn't shoot it much because he had a .22 for plinking. I am super stoked. I have wanted a 1911 style pistol for a long time and this one came by at a great price. :rockin:

Colt MK IV Model 80 Combat Commander .45acp
He also gave me a GI leather holster, a box of FMJ and two packs of #9 .45 shotshell

this is all i could get from my home internet.

now looking into it i think it would be cool to build one with a double stack frame.

This target is at 50yds with one hand and iron sights. 8 of 10 rounds in less than 3". (not with the Officer's ACP, but a different 1911)

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on October 01, 2009, 10:06:27 PM: I dumped about 10,000 rounds through my Kimber in the last 16 months. I expect to throw more than that through it next year.

That Commander is a very nice carry piece to have.
