and thats the way it is?

@baneat You are correct. Colt series 80 have four safeties. The one he doesn't mention is half-cock (well, more like one-tenth cock).
-
Nope, didnt you that. But thanks to you Larry, now I do.
-
@baneat I know that my Kimber Ultra Carry II has a Half Cock safety position. Anyone jump in a correct me about this, but IIRC it is to prevent an accidental discharge from not fully cocking the pistol that could otherwise cause severe injury or death.
-
Isn't there also a half-hammer safety to prevent the hammer from hitting the pin because it was pulled back in your pocket?
-
It's refreshing to listen to a mature adult on You Tube demonstrations.
-
Its amazing that the man designed this pistol with all this safety features without any requirement or regulation of any kind. He placed them there because he saw them as needed and didn't take any shortcut in designing the pistol
-
i think there should only be one safety on that gun

Good video, I am just wondering I noticed that the 1911 in this vid is a modern 1991, but are the grips on it original series 70 grips or does Colt make reproductions of those grips? I am curious because I noticed that from the factory the NRM 1991's and Series 70 repro's just have plain wooden grips with no Colt medallion.

@MrStockGlock Yeah it looks to be a New Roll Mark Colt 1991 series 80.
Fail, an airsofter and a paintballer arguing about a real gun.
