The Colt Government Model Series 70 in .45 ACP with a 5-inch National Match barrel is a direct homage to the golden era of American pistolsmithing, reviving the pre-Series 80 action in its purest and most celebrated form for shooters and collectors who demand the cleanest possible single-action trigger experience from their 1911. The National Match barrel delivers the enhanced fit, finish, and accuracy standards that made Colt's match-grade pistols legendary on the competitive shooting circuit, ensuring that this Government Model is capable of a level of precision that far exceeds the requirements of ordinary defensive use. The deep, rich blued finish over the steel frame and slide produces a classically stunning pistol of extraordinary visual elegance, with the Series 70's clean lines and traditional appointments making it one of the most beautiful production 1911s available at any price point. The absence of the Series 80 firing pin safety results in a trigger pull of exceptional clarity and minimal overtravel that competitive shooters and serious enthusiasts have long preferred, making every shot a deeply satisfying expression of the 1911 platform at its most refined. For the collector, the competitive shooter, or the 1911 purist who wants the most authentic and uncompromised expression of John Browning's masterpiece in a factory pistol, the Colt Series 70 Government Model with National Match barrel is simply without peer.
