PSA M1911 Government Two-Tone .45 ACP, 5 Inch, Stainless Frame/Dark Slide, Full-Size 1911
This Palmetto State Armory M1911 Government Two-Tone is a full-size, USA-made .45 ACP with a classic 5 inch barrel and a clean two-tone finish. It pairs a matte bead-blast stainless frame with a dark-finished steel slide, and carries PSA crest rollmarks with "Columbia, SC" frame markings. Notable build features include a standard, straight-sided magazine well (no add-on funnel), a high-cut under-trigger-guard contour, a GI-style recoil system, and fixed sights. An early PSM-prefix serial is observed, and it comes with the factory case, the original red diamond-checkered grip panels, and one 8-round magazine marked "Made in Italy" with witness holes. The case label is dated 5/27/16.

This Government-size PSA 1911 uses the Browning short-recoil, tilting-barrel system with an internal extractor and a GI-style recoil setup with a barrel bushing and plug. The slide features front and rear cocking serrations and a lowered and flared ejection port for reliable operation.
The fixed sight set includes a dovetailed front blade with a single white dot and a low-mount plain rear notch. Controls are true to the platform, with single-action-only operation, a left-side thumb safety, and a grip safety with a memory pad.
Ergonomics are enhanced by a high-cut under-trigger-guard contour and a vertically serrated mainspring housing, while a standard magazine well (no add-on funnel) supports smooth reloads. A skeletonized three-hole trigger and skeletonized commander-style hammer complete the firing controls.
The pistol wears wrap-around rubber finger-groove grips with pebble texture, and it includes the original red diamond-checkered grip panels if you prefer a more traditional feel. Capacity is 8+1 using the included 8-round magazine marked "Made in Italy." PSA crest rollmarks appear on both sides of the slide, with "Columbia, SC" and "M1911" markings on the frame. The factory case label is dated 5/27/16, and an early PSM-prefix serial is observed.
