Is it a series 70 or 80?

I was told by 2 Colt collectors that this model was made after the series 70 models, and just prior to the Series 80 being released. So I guess it’s more of a series 80? without actually being called a series 80?????

Does it have the dreaded firing pin bloc?

Apparently it's a series 80, so yes...
But you know I can fix that

I would say No. I was told those updates were added in 1983 and were dubbed the "Series 80" since the previous revision to the base model gun was similarly dubbed the Series 70.. This Colt was manufactured in 1982.

A pic of the inside of the slide will answer this question definitively.

If the slide has a plunger, like the one pointed to with the red arrow in the below left pic, then it’s a Series 80.

You’ll be able to check without removing the slide, just lock it to the rear, flip it over, and take a look.

It’s in my safe at the moment and I’m not able to check until late this evening. Will post a pic as soon as I can. Thanks
