Colt Government Model Competition Series 1911, Series 70, .45 ACP, 5 in National Match Barrel, Blued, Adjustable Novak Sights, 3 Mags
This Colt Government Model Competition Series brings Series 70 operation to a full-size, all-steel .45 ACP 1911 built for precision and reliability. It features a 5-inch National Match barrel, adjustable Novak rear sight with a fiber-optic front, and classic blued steel construction. Purpose-built details like a lowered and flared ejection port, controls, and Colt-logo G10 grips round out a package designed for target shooting, personal defense, and range use.
The Series 70 firing system omits a firing-pin block for a clean, consistent trigger pull, and the barrel hood is marked "COLT .45 AUTO NM" to denote its National Match spec. Government Model and Competition Series slide markings confirm its factory configuration. This pistol ships with three 8-round steel magazines and the original Colt factory case.

This full-size 1911 uses an all-steel, blued slide and frame, with rear slide serrations only and a lowered and flared ejection port to promote reliable extraction. The National Match barrel is Government-length at 5 inches, and the hood is factory marked "COLT .45 AUTO NM."
Sight alignment is fast and precise thanks to a fiber-optic front sight paired with a Novak adjustable rear. Control features include a thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump for a positive, repeatable grip.
The long, three-hole trigger and skeletonized rowel hammer complement the Series 70 firing system with no firing-pin block. Ergonomics are enhanced by Blue Colt-logo textured G10 grip panels, a flat checkered mainspring housing, a smooth front strap, and a lightly beveled magazine well for cleaner reloads.
Markings include Government Model and Competition Series on the slide, confirming this O1970CCS configuration. Capacity is 8+1 in .45 ACP, and this pistol is made in the United States.
