Did Colt make their 1911 model handguns worse when they made the few changes and came up with the series 80, or is it that some folks just have a hard time accepting change. I really don't know that the series 80 is such a bad handgun, but to listen to my friends I would almost have to believe it is. other then the trigger what else was changed?

They are just as reliable as their series 70 cousins.
I have 3 series 70 Colts, 1 Govt model and 2 Combat Commanders, 1 Blued and 1 Satin Nickel. They are all very high quality, nicely finished guns. I have never bought a series 80 gun simply because I dont need one.
