Colt 1911 Government | .38 Super | 5in | 9rd | Royal Blue

The Colt Government 1911 in .38 Super is a traditional full-size 1911 platform presented in a royal blue blued finish and a 5-inch barrel. This Series 70 semi-automatic pistol pairs classic 1911 ergonomics with period-correct aesthetics and a single included 9-round magazine. It is well suited to range work and competition shooting where the .38 Super cartridge and 1911-style controls are desired. For optics, a compact red-dot such as the Holosun 507C is a practical choice under $1,000; note this model is not drilled and tapped, so slide milling or a purpose-built adapter will be required for direct-mount optics.

Built in Colt’s longstanding 1911 form, this Government model brings classic lines and traditional controls to shooters who favor the .38 Super chambering. The pistol’s 5-inch barrel and Series 70 internals support consistent target work and competition use, while the royal blue finish and serrated slide preserve a vintage appearance. If you plan to add a red-dot, factor in slide work or an adapter since this example is not drilled and tapped; once properly equipped, it makes a capable range and competition platform.
