The biggest differance
in the Series 70 and the Series 80, is that Colt put a hammer block safety on the Series 80. It was a kinda politically correct attempt to have a hammer block safety like a lot of the the European Imports at the time.
The it was an ok idea except in the execution it put a link between the frame and the slide and made assembly a little more difficult. Taking it apart was the same but putting it back together you had to remember to push the safety plunger on top of the frame down as you put the slide on the action to keep from damaging the plunger for the hammer block safety.
At least that's the way I remember it. If I'm mistaken, please someone correct me, but that is the way I remember it.
