The Colt 1911 Government Competition Series 70 is a full-size .45 ACP pistol built around the proven Government-size 1911 pattern. Its 5-inch carbon-steel barrel, single-action operating system, G10 grips, and competition-oriented sight setup provide a stable platform for range use and practical shooting. The pistol features a manual thumb safety and grip safety, while its 8-round magazine supports an 8+1 capacity. This factory-blemished example retains the standard Colt configuration while offering the character of a traditional Series 70 1911.
