This 2014 Friends of NRA Gun of the Year matched set is a factory commemorative pairing that includes a Government Model in .45 ACP with a 5-inch barrel and a Mustang Pocketlite in .380 ACP with a 2.75-inch barrel. The slides are marked "NRA MATCHED SET" with a star motif, and the pistols share a special NRA-themed matched serial-numbering format defined for the 2014 program.
The Government Model features a Browning-type locked-breech system with a standard barrel bushing, upswept beavertail grip safety, ambidextrous manual thumb safety, front and rear slide serrations, and a skeletonized 3-hole trigger. Its low-profile fixed sights are dovetailed into the slide for a clean, durable sight picture.
The Mustang Pocketlite complements the set with its compact profile, rear-only slide serrations, fixed blade front and square-notch rear sights, and a smooth solid trigger. Both pistols are single-action only; the set’s listed safety features include a manual thumb safety, half-cock notch, and inertia firing pin, with the Government Model adding an ambidextrous lever and beavertail grip safety.
Presentation is consistent across both pistols: matte silver/gray finish with brushed slide flats, blue/black textured grips with "NRA" relief, and factory engraving. The set includes steel single-stack magazines for each pistol, with two 7-round magazines for the .45 ACP and two 6-round magazines for the .380 ACP, along with the Colt factory box, owner’s manuals, and a cable lock.
