Colt Government Model MK IV Series 70 .45 ACP, 5-Inch, 2014 Production, Blued
This modern Series 70 Government Model combines the classic 1970s Colt design with 2014 manufacturing. Forged carbon-steel construction, a polished Royal-blue finish, and double-diamond rosewood grips give it the look and feel collectors expect, while CNC machining and current metallurgy provide tight, reliable tolerances.

Colt catalog number O1970A1CS retains the original Series 70 firing system, omitting the later firing-pin safety for a lighter, crisper trigger pull. The forged carbon-steel slide and frame feature polished flats and matte rounds, mirroring early-70s production guns.
A 5-inch National Match pattern barrel is paired with fixed iron sights: a staked, serrated front blade and a square-notch rear that is dovetailed into the slide. The short solid trigger, spur hammer, and checkered main-spring housing stay true to period-correct specs.
Double-diamond checkered rosewood grip panels provide secure purchase and classic aesthetics. Safety features include a manual thumb safety, grip safety, half-cock notch, and inertial firing pin.
Made in 2014 in the USA, this faithful reproduction offers shooters and collectors an opportunity to own a factory-new example of Colt’s iconic Government Model while benefiting from modern manufacturing consistency.
