The Colt Government Model, commonly referred to as the Colt 1911, is a legendary semi-automatic pistol renowned for its durability, power, and military pedigree. Chambered in .45 ACP, it was designed as a single-action, recoil-operated firearm, which became the standard-issue sidearm for the U.S. military from 1911 until 1985. This particular example, manufactured in 1914, is part of the early commercial production of the Government Model and represents a critical moment in firearm history. The 5" barrel provides an ideal balance between accuracy and handling, while the fixed sights offer simplicity and reliability under various conditions. The blue finish on the steel frame and slide not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also contributes to the pistol's rugged durability. The double diamond checkered wood grips offer excellent traction, ensuring a secure hold even under stress, and are a characteristic feature of the era's Colts, adding to the pistol's classic design.
