Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Embodying the highest standard of classic 1911 craftsmanship and show-stopping aesthetic appeal, the Colt Series 70 Government Model in .38 Super holds a revered place among target shooters and high-grade firearm collectors. Built on a Series 70 firing system without a firing pin block for a lighter, crisp trigger break, this example features a 5-inch National Match barrel engineered for extreme mechanical accuracy and flat-trajectory velocity. Custom finished in a mirror-bright high-polish reflective stainless steel finish and fitted with pearlescent composite grips featuring raised silver Rampant Horse emblems, this custom .38 Super offers an unbeatable combination of classic Hartford heritage, high-velocity firepower, and stunning visual presentation.
This specific example is an authentic American-manufactured Colt Government Model Series 70 semi-automatic pistol chambered in .38 Super (Model 01911C-SS38), bearing serial number GV089152. Outfitted in custom luxury trim, it features a 5-inch National Match barrel, custom mirror-polished high-gloss stainless finish, custom white pearlescent grips with silver Colt horse emblems, spur hammer, original Series 70 controls, and one (1) factory 9-round stainless single-stack .38 Super magazine. The custom mirror polished stainless steel finish presents in pristine, high-grade overall condition throughout, displaying sharp factory roll-marks and brilliant reflective surfaces. Mechanically, the Series 70 single-action trigger breaks with crisp factory precision, slide cycling is glass-smooth, and the 5-inch National Match barrel bore is mirror-bright with razor-sharp rifling. Complete in its matching factory blue hard case with matching end-label specifying serial GV089152, manual packet, cable lock, and factory magazine, this GV089152 Colt Series 70 .38 Super offers a complete turnkey collector piece.
