Colt Series 70 Lightweight Commander

.45ACP

ULTRA RARE ONE OF A KIND IPSC COLLECTIBLE!


Here’s the story: FIRST ever US IPSC Nationals, June 1977 Denver CO.

I did NOT win this gun, I bought it at the awards ceremony. It was designated to go to 2nd Overall, Combat Master from the South West Pistol League(SWPL) Leonard Knight. Here is Knight, at the match.



But he wanted a steel frame gun so they auctioned this one off at the banquet. I listened to the bids go up until they were at, “Going once, going twice…” and I added $5 to the bid and won it! LOL

It has been opened once then hammer lowered and left in the box with all original documents, letters, etc. since then.




And, to sweeten the deal, I will add an original match pin. They were a big deal back then.




That’s it in a nutshell. I CAN embellish that history with tales of the Pros From Dover going there, stopping in Idaho to order holsters directly from Milt Sparks, meeting Jeff Cooper, Ken Hackathorn, Ray Chapman, Gordon Davis and many more founders of IPSC US long before USPSA was conceived.

If this gun interests you, contact me and let’s work towards that happening.

STI frame, custom gun

This is from around 2000 from a retired shooter. No, NOT me. I just shoot like that :-)

The gun has a 6 min C-More, small slide racker, about 2# trigger, large mag button, beavertail pinned, the usual.

With Open gun prices going galactic, this is a well priced starter or run it as is. All you old guys with bad eyes fighting Father Time, throw in the towel and get this. You won't regret it.
