Unveiled in 1989 by Colt's Manufacturing Company, the Double Eagle was Colt's first foray into the world of double-action semi-automatic pistols, making it a unique and valuable piece of firearm history. The MK II Series 80, your potential new acquisition, is an updated version released in the early 90s, boasting the Series 80 firing pin safety system. This model chambers the 10mm Auto, a round known for its stopping power and once a staple in law enforcement agencies.
Despite its short production run, ending in 1997, the Double Eagle is seen as a classic late 20th-century firearm. The stainless steel finish not only adds to its aesthetics but also significantly reduces the risk of rust and corrosion, ensuring its longevity. The checkered black synthetic grips offer a firm and comfortable hold, improving handling and control. The white 3-dot sights ensure accurate target acquisition, even in low-light conditions.
The Colt Double Eagle MK II Series 80's 8+1 round capacity, combined with its DA/SA action, offers versatility and ample firepower, making it suitable for both target shooting and personal defense. As a Colt, it carries the prestige and reliability associated with the brand. Owning this gun is not just about owning a functional firearm; it's about owning a piece of Colt's history.
