Both firearms are essentially identical. The AMT Hardballer is a stainless steel clone or copy of the Colt 1911 style pistol. They assemble and disassemble the same. They both utilize the venerable Browning design where the barrel is held in place by a bushing and a link. They both have grip and slide mounted safety systems. They both are chambered in .45ACP caliber and have been chambered in other calibers as well (Colt chambered their various 1911 pistols in many more caliber choices than AMT did). The Wikipedia site reports issues with galling of the steel on the Harballers. This author owned a Hardballer in the late 1970's and early 1980's and did not experience issues with that, believing the lack of galling to be based on frequent lubrication of friction surfaces and limited firing of the pistol. Parts from a Colt pistol are not interchangeable with parts from the AMT pistols.
not much. the 1911 was made for the military. The 70 was a later commercial model of the 1911
no big difference between 1911 and the 1927 except I believe the model 1927 was made for the Argentina military forces...................
