The 1911 platform remains a benchmark for ergonomic control, trigger quality, and proven service in both competition and personal defense. For shooters seeking a precision, full-size 1911 with a competition-ready edge, the modern take on the classic Government model brings match-grade features in a familiar package.

COLT GOVERNMENT

Key features that matter

The COLT GOVERNMENT is a tribute to the Commercial Government Model pistols, offered as a full-size, semi-automatic 1911 with a steel frame and a classic blue finish. It ships with a 5″ National Match barrel and Series 70 firing system — components favored by precision shooters for consistent lockup and a crisp trigger pull. Expect practical touches like the staked front sight and a spurred hammer for positive manipulation and a traditional 1911 silhouette.

National Match barrel and accuracy

The 5″ National Match barrel improves inherent accuracy and gives a longer sight radius, which helps fine groups under slow-fire or timed strings. For competitive shooters or anyone tuning a carry gun for precision, this barrel provides a stable basis for aftermarket sights and custom fitment.

Series 70 system and steel frame

The Series 70 firing system is valued for its straightforward, reliable trigger feel. Paired with the steel frame and blued finish, the COLT GOVERNMENT balances weight for recoil management while maintaining the classic 1911 balance many shooters prefer.

View product details and pricing — listed at $1,725.99, this pistol positions itself as a premium, ready-to-customize 1911 option.

Caliber and practical applications

Chambered in .38 Super, the COLT GOVERNMENT offers higher velocity potential over traditional 9mm in a 1911-sized platform, making it attractive for competition divisions where power factor matters and for shooters who favor flat trajectories and strong terminal performance with properly selected loads. The platform is also suited for customization: grips, sights, and tuned recoil systems are straightforward to install on this steel-frame 1911.
