Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Combat Government MK IV / Series 80 is a purpose-built, “fighting” take on Colt’s classic full-size 1911—retaining the proven 5" Government Model balance while leaning into practical, duty-minded upgrades. In the broader Colt lineup, it bridges the gap between a traditional Government Model and the more target-oriented variants by emphasizing reliability, controllability, and real-world carry features. You still get the iconic 1911 ergonomics and naturally pointing profile that made the platform legendary, but in a configuration that feels more modern and use-driven—often paired with enhanced sights, a beavertail-style grip safety on many examples, and other touches that make it quicker from the holster and easier to run under stress. What defines the Series 80 designation is Colt’s firing pin safety system, which adds a layer of drop-safety protection while keeping the gun unmistakably “Colt” in feel and character. To collectors and shooters alike, the Combat Government is appealing because it represents an era when Colt was evolving the 1911 for contemporary use without abandoning its heritage—making it a strong blend of classic craftsmanship, Colt rollmarks, and practical performance. It’s the kind of Colt that checks multiple boxes: desirable as a shooter, credible as a defensive 1911, and still very much a branded, era-correct Colt MK IV that holds its own in a collection—especially when found clean, original, and complete with matching box and factory paperwork.
