GIDave Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Just bought a Colt Double Eagle 10mm. How do I tell the difference between a 1st and 2nd generation? Does anyone make aftermarket grips for them? I have several 1911 10mms and always change out the recoil springs to the 20-22# range. Is this possible for the Double Eagles? In other words, are the slides similar? With that in mind, what was the stock recoil spring poundage for the Double Eagles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carne Frio Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) I have one and had no idea there were two versions. I was looking for wooden grips a few years ago, and found a set at one of the custom grip sites. I don't remember which one though. You go to colt web site and download a manual, but you need to register. http://www.colt.com/Downloads There are lots of manuals on this site: http://gunmanual.net/firearms/colt/ Edited July 27, 2016 by Carne Frio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carne Frio Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 So, are you interested in the variety of grips for the Double Eagle that I found ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambihunter Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Doesn't it say right on the frame on the first-run? I know the Delta Elite did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIDave Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 So, are you interested in the variety of grips for the Double Eagle that I found ? No joy. Still looking. BTW, the grips I have on them now are wooden, looks to be a custom job; but a slight crack on the right exposes some of the trigger mechanism.
