COLT 1911 Government Classic .45 ACP with a 5-inch barrel, 7+1 capacity, black DLC finish and gold scroll barleycorn grips — O1911C-CX003T.
The COLT 1911 Government Classic in .45 ACP is a traditional single-action pistol that follows the original 1911 pattern, offering classic ergonomics on a steel frame. This example features a 5″ barrel and a 7+1 capacity, delivering the familiar balance and trigger characteristics shooters expect from the platform. For a modern sighting solution that stays well under $1,000, consider a compact red-dot such as the Holosun 507C, which complements the sight radius and cheekweld of a 5″ 1911. Common applications for this pistol include range practice and competitive pistol shooting.
