The Colt Government MKIV Series 70 is a classic semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP, building upon the legendary M1911 design created by John Browning. Introduced in the early 1970s, the Series 70 brought notable refinements to the platform, including the collet-style barrel bushing intended to enhance accuracy without compromising reliability. This model features a 5-inch barrel, a blade front sight with sight extender, and an adjustable rear sight, offering precision for both defensive and sporting use. Its robust all-steel construction paired with the timeless short-recoil, single-action operation makes it a continuation of the military-proven reliability of the original M1911.
