The Colt 1911 Classic Rose Gold is a full-size Government-model 1911 chambered in .38 Super and finished in rose gold (Colt part no. O1073BSTS-RG). Colt places it in its 1911 Classics family, and it is a numbered limited edition of 250 pistols. Under the finish it keeps the traditional layout: a 5-inch barrel, a single-action trigger, fixed sights, a manual thumb safety and a grip safety. The .38 Super has a long history in the 1911, offering a flat-shooting, high-velocity alternative to .45 ACP with milder recoil. It is a pistol for the Colt collector who still intends to shoot it.
