The search for a reliable, proven semi-automatic sidearm that balances classic ergonomics with practical value often leads shooters to used and certified firearms. A certified used option can deliver range-ready performance and documented condition without the premium of a brand-new pistol.

COLT GOVERNMENT MODEL arrives ready for use and inspection. This example ships with two 7-round magazines, the original case, owner’s manual, and a functioning thumb safety. It carries the Certified Used stamp, which guarantees the firearm is in very good to excellent condition and covered by a ‘no questions asked’ return policy. Priced at $1,099.99, this Semi Auto from Colt — with model listings noted as Various — represents a smart buy for collectors and practical shooters alike. Shop this product

Build quality and controls

Colt’s Government Model platform is known for solid machining, tuned slide-to-frame fit, and traditional single-action trigger characteristics. The inclusion of a thumb safety provides a manual, tactile control for safe carry and handling. The original case and owner’s manual add collector and practical value, simplifying storage and transfer while preserving provenance.

What the Certified Used program means for buyers

The Certified Used stamp on this firearm signals a level of inspection and refurbishment: cosmetic assessment, functional check, and verification of original accessories. For a buyer, that translates into predictable condition and the peace of mind of a no-questions-asked return policy should the pistol not meet expectations. At $1,099.99 for a Semi Auto Colt with included magazines and documentation, the price point competes well with comparable used offerings.

Practical applications

Collectors will appreciate the completeness of package items — two 7-round magazines and the original case — while range shooters will value the known controls like the thumb safety and Colt ergonomics. This model suits precision practice, historical collections, and disciplined defensive training where proven design matters.
