Colt Government 1911 .38 Super 5" Blued 9-Round

The Colt Government 1911: American Precision Redefined

The Colt Government Model 1911 in .38 Super represents the pinnacle of American handgun design—a firearm that has proven itself across generations of shooters. This particular example honors that legacy while delivering modern performance.

Key Features

• Series 70 Firing System: The proven, reliable ignition system that has made the 1911 legendary
• National Match Barrel: Hand-fitted for superior accuracy and reliability
• 5-Inch Barrel: The classic length that balances velocity, handling, and sight radius
• Blued Carbon Steel: A durable, traditional finish that ages gracefully
• Double Diamond Rosewood Grips: Premium materials that provide both aesthetics and functional grip texture
• Fixed 3-Dot Sights: Simple, effective sight picture for quick target acquisition
• Single-Action Trigger: Crisp and clean break for precise shot placement
• 9+1 Capacity: One in the chamber, nine in the magazine

Why the .38 Super?

Often overlooked in favor of .45 ACP, the .38 Super offers a compelling alternative. It delivers higher velocity than standard 9mm, flatter trajectory, and reduced recoil compared to .45 ACP—all while maintaining the stopping power respected by law enforcement and military users for decades.

Built for the Discerning Shooter

This is not a pistol designed by committee. It's a 1911—pure and simple—built by craftsmen who understand that some designs transcend trends. Whether you're a competitive shooter, collector, or someone who simply appreciates quality engineering, the Colt Government delivers.
