This rimfire Government Model mirrors the weight and dimensions of a standard 5-inch 1911, allowing inexpensive practice without changing muscle memory. The straight-blowback, single-action-only system keeps operation simple while preserving the classic 1911 trigger feel.
A matte-black zinc-alloy slide and frame are reinforced with steel inserts at key stress points. German CIP “N” proofs, Ulm antler marks, and date codes confirm factory testing and origin.
Shooter-friendly sights include a dovetailed red fiber-optic front blade and a micrometer-style click-adjustable rear, giving a bright aiming point and precise windage/elevation control. Rear slide serrations offer secure manipulation.
Standard 1911 ergonomics remain intact, including a manual thumb safety, grip safety, spur hammer, disconnector, and internal firing-pin block. The pistol accepts many 1911 holsters, grips, and accessories, adding versatility to its rimfire economy.
