The Government-size Double Eagle pairs a 5-inch barrel with an 8+1 capacity in .45 ACP. Its stainless-steel slide and frame are finished in stainless, with rear cocking serrations and a lowered ejection port. The squared trigger guard with vertical serrations and single-stack magazine well reflect the Government configuration.
The Series 90 action is double-action/single-action with a frame-mounted decocking lever for safe transition to double-action carry. It incorporates a Series 80–style firing-pin block safety, and uses a Commander-style rowel hammer.
Sighting is straightforward and durable: a fixed 3-dot system with a dovetailed square-notch rear and a fixed front blade, providing an approximate 6.5-inch sight radius. Wraparound black synthetic grips with Colt medallions offer a secure hold.
Model-specific marks verify its Mk II status: the slide is marked "DOUBLE EAGLE MKII / SERIES 90," and the barrel hood is marked "COLT 45 AUTO." Built in the United States during the 1990s, this example dates to 1996 and represents Colt's Series 90 Double Eagle line in full-size, stainless form.
