Our Assessment: This Colt Double Eagle Mark II Series 90 is a single and double-action semi-automatic pistol chambered for 9mm Luger rounds. The Colt Double Eagle line was a series of Colt Model 1911s manufactured from approximately 1990-1996. The Double Eagles operate with the Browning/Colt short recoil system, feature a pivoting lock system that was used by the Government Model, have a decocking lever and squared off combat trigger guard. This particular handgun has some light handling wear but it remains mechanically sound and aesthetically pleasing. For fans of John Browning’s Model 1911, this is a nicely made variant you do not want to miss out on!
