Colt Government 1911 .45 ACP - 5" - 1x 7 Round Mag - Stainless - Pistol

The Colt MK IV Series 70 Government Model is one of the most historically significant production 1911s available — a faithful recreation of the pre-Series 80 Government Model that 1911 enthusiasts specifically seek out for its clean, uninterrupted single-action trigger pull. Made in Hartford, Connecticut, the brushed stainless version with double diamond rosewood grips is the classic pairing of the most iconic 1911 configuration and the most iconic 1911 finish.

The Colt MK IV Series 70 Government is a single-action semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP, built on a stainless steel frame and stainless steel slide with a 5-inch stainless steel barrel, finished in brushed stainless throughout.

The Series 70 firing system omits the firing pin block — no Series 80 connector, no firing pin safety plunger — providing a trigger pull that is unimpeded by the additional components Colt added in 1983. Among 1911 purists, the Series 70 geometry is the preferred baseline for trigger work, and Colt's current production Series 70 honors that original specification with a factory-fitted barrel bushing designed to grip the barrel for improved accuracy over earlier GI-pattern bushings. Fixed GI-style sights — front post and square notch rear — maintain the classic Government Model sight picture. The frame-mounted thumb safety and standard grip safety provide the traditional 1911 dual-safety configuration. The checkered arched mainspring housing and double diamond checkered rosewood grip panels with Colt medallions are the classic Government Model furniture combination. The brushed stainless finish covers both the frame and slide for a uniform, corrosion-resistant appearance. One 7-round magazine is included. Made in Hartford, CT.
