Jul 12, 2015 · I wish Colt would bring them back. It's already a given that a single-stack 1911 makes an excellent carry piece, and even more so in Commander size. Still, there are a lot of people who are hesitant to carry them correctly in Condition One, and those people would be well served by a new Double Eagle.

Jul 11, 2014 · The Double Eagle was simply what many folks would call "badly drawn". The funky angled frame above the trigger with a lopsided-looking triggerguard was bad enough, but then Colt went and stretched the RH grip panel over to cover up the DA trigger mechanism which looked just plain hideous.
Question about Colt Double Eagle MKII/Series 90 10mm
Jul 5, 2024 · The Double Eagle was arguably the worst gun model Colt ever fielded. Even the MKII version was more like a Rube Goldberg concoction than a properly designed gun. I bought a used .45 Deagle for dirt cheap back in 2012 just for grins and giggles.

Aug 1, 2010 · The Double Eagles are Colt's attempt at mimicking the Sig P220. That is, having a decocker to lower the hammer without firing a chambered round. I used to have a fullsize MKII stainless Double Eagle that I bought brand new around 1988-89. I …
Colt Double Eagle 45acp Questions - 1911Forum
Jul 14, 2013 · The Double Eagle upper uses standard 1911 barrels and bushings, so a match barrel and bushing can be fit. The Colt barrel, however, is very good, so I would consider just fitting a bushing if, and only if, accuracy is found lacking. The action on the Double Eagle is very similar to the SIG P22x guns, and trigger work can be done.

Jun 27, 2011 · To me, I only have it to give my collection a little difference and I got a very very nice speciman a year ago for $485.00, but if I were to compare it to a Colt 1911, the 1911 wins without a second thought, hence it will remain a range gun or it will reside in the center console of one of my vehicles.

Double Eagle questions from new member - 1911Forum
Jan 27, 2021 · The good news is the Double Eagle is a fine pistol. The bad news is that there are very few spare parts in the market. The easiest and least expensive way to get spare frame parts is to purchase a spare pistol for parts. Most of the upper parts like the barrel and extractor are standard 1911; the frame parts are pretty much specific to the model.
Colt Double Eagle .45ACP - 1911Forum
Jan 14, 2007 · Hi, I just purchased a Colt Double Eagle MKII 90 in .45ACP. It is the compact version with the shorter barrel. My question is when looking at grips and magazines in the Midway catalog I notice under 1911's there are "Government", "Commander", and "Officer". What is the Double Eagle? This is my first 1911, so I am a little off on this.
