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.
 
One of the standout features of this exclusive model is the Novak LoMount sight system, upgraded with a brass bead front sight and an extra-wide .170" rear notch. This setup excels in low-light environments, providing faster sight alignment without sacrificing accuracy. The pistol also incorporates Pete Single’s renowned custom metal-smithing, including a 360-degree beveled magazine well, 25-lines-per-inch front strap checkering, a high-cut frame for improved grip, and a custom bar-stock mainspring housing with a rounded heel for enhanced concealment comfort. Finished with rosewood ironwood grips that feature forward taper, fingerprint-style checkering, and the Colt logo, this Series 70 is a refined combat-ready 1911 with all the functional elegance expected from a factory special edition bearing a unique serial number.
