The first few hundred made in 2001 had the Series 80-style fully cut slide stop notch and a dot matrix serial number. Once those two things were changed to the more traditional format teh pistols remained unchanged until recently, with titanium firing pins now being used and the RH slide rollmark now absent.

Try not to fall into the common trap of wanting to replace everything on your new 1911 just to make it "better". Know what you're changing out, and why. You may spend a lot of money fixing things that weren't broken to begin with. Shoot it for at least 500 rounds, then decide what you don't like and want improved. Vintage 1911's should NEVER be refinished or modified because it ruins any value they had as a collectible firearm.

A couple years ago. I recently bought one from Midway to put in my STS S70 carry gun.

Midway and Brownells I think both sell Titanium firing pins to even put in Series 80 guns.
