Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt MKIV Series 80 Government Model .380 ACP pistol was introduced in 1983 and manufactured until 1997, when it was discontinued. During its production run, it was offered in blue ('83-'97), stainless steel ('89-'97), nickel ('83-'94), or a "Coltguard" finish ('86-'89). Colt designed these pistols as a compact and lightweight personal defense/concealed carry option, while still being familiar to shooters proficient with the full-size 1911. This model is part of the Government Model MKIV Series 80, featuring a 3.25" barrel, approximately 78 percent the size of a full-sized M1911 Government Model, and chambered for the .380 auto cartridge. It maintains the locked breech recoil action of the larger .45 Auto weapon, but unlike the larger .45 caliber MKIV models, it does not have a grip safety. If you're in the market for a unique and stylish concealed-carry pistol or simply want to add another interesting Colt to your collection, this little MKIV Series 80 Government Model would be an excellent choice.
