Colt 1911 Government 9mm Competition Pistol, 5in, 9+1

The Colt 1911 Government (brand part no. O1972CCS) is a competition-ready 1911 chambered in 9mm Luger, built on Colt’s updated Series 70 firing system that competitive shooters have long preferred. A National Match barrel and Novak adjustable fiber optic sights deliver the precision serious shooters demand, while custom G10 grips, an upswept beavertail grip safety, and an undercut trigger guard keep the pistol low in the hand for better control. The dual spring recoil system reduces felt recoil and extends spring life, so this Government-model 1911 stays comfortable and consistent through long strings of fire, whether on the clock or on the range.
