The Series 70 reissue reproduces the pre-1983 Series 70 firing pin system without a firing pin safety block. Beloved by 1911 purists and gunsmiths for its lighter, crisper trigger feel. The absence of the firing pin block gives it a mechanical simplicity that custom builders prefer as a starting platform. Type: Pistol Action: Semi-Automatic Caliber: .45 ACP Capacity: 7 Year introduced: 2002, USA Weight: 38.5 oz Overall length: 8.625" Status: Active Intended use: Range, Collection, Custom Build Platform
