MAIN FEATURES

The Government Model MK IV Series 80 retains a quality of endurance

acknowledged since 1911. Manual and automatic safety devices, including the

Series 80 Firing Pin Lock, can be depended on to serve you reliably and safely

provided you handle the pistol properly. The Delta Elite and Combat Elite are

the same size, and have most of the features of the Government Model.

The Combat Commander and Commander Model (Lightweight) semi-automatic

pistols are identical in appearance and function. They differ from the Govern-

ment Model in size, weight and barrel configuration, and they differ one from the

other in that the "Lightweight" has an aluminum receiver in place of steel. The

Officer's ACP is similar to, but smaller than, the Commanders. It has a different

barrel bushing configuration.

These pistols are available in different calibers and in different metal finishes

which are shown in the table opposite. This instruction manual applies to all

these variations of the pistols and to commemorative issues of them currently

marketed by Colt.

The Government Model is illustrated throughout this manual and those illustra-

tions also apply to the Delta Elite, Combat Elite, and Combat Target, all Com-

mander pistols, the Officer's ACP and the Colt Defender unless otherwise shown.
