Colt Tries DA/SA: The Colt Double Eagle (in 10mm)
This video review delves into the Colt Double Eagle, a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Colt that attempted to merge the 1911 platform with a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger mechanism. Introduced in the 1990s, it was an unconventional offering for Colt in an era dominated by striker-fired or traditional DA/SA designs. The video explores its design, its availability in various calibers including the powerful 10mm, and its commercial performance, noting its discontinuation in 1997. It highlights the pistol's unique place in Colt's history as their foray into the DA/SA market.
