colt .45 mk IV series 70??????
ok My dad has this colt .45 MK IV/Series 70 Government model.
 Shot with DSC-T5 at 2007-07-07 I went to the Gun show in Houston today without it. But my dad wanted me to pick up a new mag for it. so i bought this 10 round extended clip. it turned out to be the wrong mag.  Shot with DSC-T5 at 2007-07-07 turns out this is the right size buy i can't find it anywhere online or any gun like it.  Shot with DSC-T5 at 2007-07-07 the gun has colt MK IV/Series 70 marked on it, but i can't find any magazines like this anywhere. |

Re: colt .45 mk IV series 70??????
Hi therockrt72.....welcome to TFF.
 Something doesn't add up here. The Mk.IV, Series 70 Colts all took a single stack mag. In fact, I don't know of any Colt Gov't Model, or any other Colt M1911 type pistol that takes double stack magazines. I'm tempted to say that what you have is a Mk.IV, Series 70 slide on somebody else's frame....perhaps a Llama IX-C which takes a 10 round magazine....or a Para-Ordnance double stacker. |

Re: colt .45 mk IV series 70??????
It also depends WHERE it says "Series 70..." on the SLIDE or the BARREL...
My BARREL says that, but that is ALL that is on my gun from a Colt Series 70.... My SLIDE says "Ithaca..." Which draws a lot of attention from people who say, "WOW, When did ITHACA start making modern two-tone combat .45s???"

he bought this gun at a gun show about 13-14 years ago. why would they change the frame like that other than obvious reason (higher capacity). and also would this do anything to the performance. |

Re: colt .45 mk IV series 70??????
so now that we've figured this out where could i find the best deal on a double stacked para ordnance mag.
also does this affect the guns ability to load in any way. |
