Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Government MKIV Series 70 Custom Shop with an electroless nickel finish is a highly sought-after variant of the iconic Colt 1911, produced in limited numbers by Colt’s Custom Shop. This model embodies the classic design and performance of the Series 70, known for its collet bushing, which enhances accuracy by maintaining a tighter barrel-to-slide fit. Custom Shop models receive additional attention in terms of hand-fitting, smooth action, and overall finish quality, making them superior to standard production pistols. The electroless nickel finish adds to the allure of this model, offering both aesthetic appeal and exceptional durability. Electroless nickel provides superior corrosion resistance and a uniform, matte-like finish that protects the firearm from wear, while also giving it a unique, sleek appearance. The rarity of the Colt Government MKIV Series 70 Custom Shop with electroless nickel stems from its limited production and the specialized craftsmanship that comes with Custom Shop models. These pistols were made in small numbers, and when combined with the premium finish, they are considered highly collectible. Enthusiasts value the combination of Colt's legendary 1911 platform with the advanced durability of the electroless nickel finish, making it a prized possession for collectors seeking both form and function. Its scarcity, historical significance, and aesthetic appeal contribute to its standing as a rare and desirable piece.
