Colt 1911 Government | 9mm Luger | 5″ Barrel | O1972CCS

The Colt 1911 Government in 9mm is a competition-oriented single-action pistol built on forged carbon steel with a 5″ National Match barrel and Novak fiber-optic sights for precise sighting. The pistol uses an updated Series 70 firing system and a dual-spring recoil system to promote consistent cycling and reduced felt recoil. Ergonomic enhancements such as G10 grips, an upswept beavertail grip safety and an undercut trigger guard help the pistol sit low in the hand for improved control. For a red-dot option under typical pistol-optic budgets, consider a micro red-dot like the Holosun 507K to speed target acquisition while retaining the pistol’s sight picture.
