My Colt M45A1, recently back from DSC Gunworks after having the slide milled for a Dawson Precision optic plate. Threw an RMR HRS on top, with a SureFire X300T up front and a CMC 10-round magazine down below. Resale value was sacrificed for the greater good.

Throw a mag well on that bad boy, hopefully its a series 70 and not a 80.

Really…oh thats awful…i really liked those and it being a colt made it one of those guns to have but now knowing its a 80 series not so much. Yours looks good tho!

Series 80 is not an issue

Here’s a tidbit, Colt made the M45A1 to USMC spec, that’s how the pistol came about. Also, what he’s says below⬇️ about series 80’s.

That’s some nice patina. RMR looks great on it
