Colt O1911C-38 | 1911 Classic | .38 Super 5″ Blued

The Colt 1911 Classic Government in .38 Super is a traditional full-size 1911 built around Colt’s Series 70 firing system and a 5-inch national match barrel. The pistol pairs a blued carbon-steel frame and slide with double-diamond rosewood grips for a classic appearance and solid handling. For an optic under $1,000 that complements this sight picture and platform, consider a compact red-dot such as the Vortex Venom 3 MOA for fast target acquisition without obscuring the three-dot irons. This pistol is well suited to precision range work and competition where a full-size sight radius and match-grade barrel are beneficial.
