This video explains the key differences between Colt Series 70 and Series 80 1911 pistols. The primary distinction lies in the Series 80's inclusion of a firing pin safety mechanism, designed to prevent accidental discharge if the firearm is dropped. While purists may prefer the Series 70 for its simpler design, both models are generally considered to shoot and feel the same, with the Series 80 adding extra internal parts for drop safety.
