Colt 1911 Government 38 Super 9+1 5" National Match Barrel G10 Grips

The Colt O1911C38 Government model delivers precision-grade performance in the distinctive 38 Super cartridge, combining Colt's legendary 1911 platform with competition-ready enhancements. This full-size pistol features a National Match barrel and enhanced ergonomics that elevate it above standard production models.

What Makes This Different

The National Match barrel provides superior accuracy compared to standard Government barrels, while the 38 Super cartridge offers higher velocity and flatter trajectory than traditional 45 ACP. The serrated steel slide reduces glare and improves grip purchase during manipulation. Black cherry checkered G10 grips deliver consistent grip texture in all weather conditions, unlike traditional wood or polymer alternatives.

Key Features

• National Match barrel for enhanced accuracy and consistency
• 38 Super chambering with 9+1 capacity for extended range performance
• Serrated steel slide and frame construction for durability
• Extended beavertail grip safety for improved hand positioning
• Black cherry checkered G10 grips resist moisture and wear
• Traditional blued finish provides corrosion resistance
• 5-inch barrel length optimizes velocity and sight radius

The 38 Super cartridge excels in competitive shooting applications where power factor requirements favor higher velocity loads. The National Match barrel specification ensures consistent lockup and improved inherent accuracy potential. Weather resistance comes from the blued steel construction and synthetic grip panels that maintain their texture in wet conditions.
