Hi, Colt Fans!
Just joined yesterday. Retired US Army in 1997. Been a long-time Colt owner. Have a Colt Mark IV Series 80 Lightweight Officers Model in .45 ACP. Bought the weapon used, in excellent condition, for $400.00 in 1991 and never let it go. Colt informs me that it was built in 1990. Carried it with me everywhere in the military. Since Ohio passed its CCW law in 2004 I find that: Presto! What a nifty concealable weapon. I taught both my kids to shoot a handgun with this little mule. Would love to hear from Colt owners who have or have had this model, good or bad experiences. Thanx, and it's great to be on board!

I got a fever, and the only cure is more guns.
