Colt introduced this model in 1970 as a newer version of the Model 1911A1. The major changes were a slightly heavier slide and a slotted collet barrel bushing. From 1970 to 1976 the serial numbers had a prefix of '70G', from 1976 to 1980 they had a suffix of 'G70' which changed to a prefix of '70B' from 1980 until 1983 when production ceased. Interestingly, colt couldn’t figure out how to properly market the mustang, and sold manufacturing rights to sig. When the sig 238 took-off in popularity, colt re-introduced the mustang, and variants. Can’t think of a reason to trade a 238 for a ‘stang, or add the pocket pony to the collection. Thanks to technology, you can now look up Colt serial number on the internet. Simply go to Colt’s homepage and hover your mouse to the Customer Service tab.
