Late last year, I asked about Series 80 parts for a Colt Commander.
That was premature, as the gun was owned by a widow who inherited it from her husband. She didn't have a carry permit, so the machinations to get a private sale approved in thisfucking stateCT were groan-worthy.
But it's done and the gun is mine:
It has dead nightsights, which are being replaced. The feed ramp has the black anodizing worn, but it's not gouged up.
I've no experience with this particular model. Someone I know elsewhere said that I should only use either milspec 7-round magazines or ones that have plastic followers to avoid trashing the feed ramp.
What sort of things about this particular model of gun should I keep in mind?
