Colt 1911 Government Model .45 ACP 5" Bbl Series 70 Blued Pistol O1970A1CS

The Colt Government Model Series 70 in .45 ACP is the purest and most historically faithful expression of John Browning's masterpiece in continuous production today, delivering the clean, unencumbered single-action trigger experience that defined the original military service pistol and made the 1911 the most influential combat handgun in American history. The 5-inch blued steel barrel and frame present the full-size Government Model in its most classic and visually authentic configuration, with the deep, rich blued finish over steel producing a pistol of timeless elegance that connects the shooter directly to over a century of American military and civilian shooting heritage. The Series 70 action, free of the Series 80 firing pin safety, delivers a trigger pull of exceptional clarity and directness that competitive shooters, collectors, and serious enthusiasts have consistently preferred over its successor, making every shot a genuinely rewarding expression of the 1911 at its most essential. Chambered in the original .45 ACP cartridge that the Government Model was specifically designed to fire, this pistol represents the most authentic possible union of platform and cartridge, honoring the legacy of a firearm that served the United States military faithfully through two World Wars and beyond. For the purist who wants nothing more and nothing less than the definitive full-size Colt 1911 in its most traditional form, the Series 70 Government Model in blued .45 ACP is the answer.
