My New Colt Commander/Family Heirloom

(1/2) > >>

OnTheFly:
My brother-in-law held true to his word.  He had his father's Colt Commander (Serial #"70BS2...") which he said he wanted me to have.  My father-in-law carried it for several years as an LEO until the police department standardized their firearms.  Today my brother-in-law gifted it to me. 

From what I can find on the internet, it was manufactured in 1975.  Can anyone confirm my research?  If I am correct, that makes it around 37 years young.

It is my first 1911 style pistol.  I had been hoping to get one some day, but I did not expect one to just drop in my lap like this.  I can't wait to shoot it.

J/k man, CC or CCO?  Either way, wonderful guns!

Now you just need some custom grips and a nice new holster. Or two..or three.. or.....

I was wanting to post some gun porn of the newest addition to my collection, but the cameras I had available were pretty poor.  Hopefully these will display well.  And now the test...Can anyone see a problem with my new pistol?

OnTheFly:
I just called Colt Manufacturing and they said my gun was born in 1970.  Even better!
