Hi all. I understand that the 80 has the firing pin block and longer trigger. Sounds like I would prefer a 70. Is there any reason not to and what are other differences between them? I will be looking for a used Govt Model in 70 or 80 series. Also what is meant by MK IV? Are there other MK? Sorry, just learning about Colts. Thanks.
