The Colt MK IV Series 80 is a 1911-style semi-automatic pistol in 1983, featuring an internal firing pin block safety. This mechanism prevents the gun from firing unless the trigger is fully depressed, marking a major safety update from the previous Series 70 design. It is known for reliability and includes various models like the Government, Commander, and Gold Cup.

  • Caliber: Common in .45 ACP
  • Design Changes: It generally features a firing pin safety lever, which can sometimes result in a slightly different trigger pull than earlier models.
  • Production Era: Introduced in 1983 as an upgrade to the Mk IV Series 70 and is still in production in various forms today
