Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Series 70 Government Model, chambered in .45 ACP, represents a return to classic, no-nonsense design favored by serious 1911 enthusiasts. Built on a full-sized carbon steel frame and slide, this model preserves the traditional lightweight Commander-style controls—small thumb safety, slide lock, and magazine catch—all deemed more than sufficient by defensive shooters. Enhancements to the grip include a Colt-produced beavertail safety and enlarged grip safety to better protect the shooter’s hand. The flat mainspring housing and long trigger reflect the preferences of most .45 ACP users, offering a natural and familiar feel. At the heart of the pistol is a Gold Cup barrel for premium performance, and the rear slide sports traditional serrations with a clean profile—no front serrations for a classic look.
