Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Colt had been producing the M1911A1 for the military for many years when they decided to release it to civilians under the name the Colt Government Model. To improve accuracy on the Government Model, Colt eventually modified the barrel bushing, and the new pistol was deemed the Colt Government Model Mark IV Series 70. If you ask Colt auto fans which series is their favorite, many will say the Series 70. A case could be made that the pre-war commercial Colts are more elegant and finely rendered, but surviving examples of these are expensive collector items, often commanding several thousand dollars in like-new condition. The Series 70 Colts, while no longer in production, can still be found in excellent condition. The Series 70 Colts were produced between 1970 and 1983 in Government Model and Commander sizes.
