I put a post in the non-xd section about a new colt 1911 I acquired. I got a reply about misfires on series 70s because I stated that I might ccw it sometimes.
The poster stated that his series 70 1911 would sometimes fire when he flipped the safety off. It went in for repair and they replaced the sear to resolve the issue but he doesn't trust it for ccw.
The Colt Gunsite Pistol has a McCormick hammer and sear.
My question is... should I ccw a series 70? I currently ccw a xd9sc. I thought that I needed a small gun to ccw, but I don't think that anymore. I think I could get away with a 1911 and nobody would ever notice.
