The Colt Competition Government delivers match-grade accuracy in a full-size 1911 platform designed for competitive shooting and precision applications. This stainless steel pistol combines Colt's legendary craftsmanship with modern enhancements that serious shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
Built on Colt's Series 70 firing system, this competition model eliminates the firing pin safety found in Series 80 pistols for a cleaner, more consistent trigger pull. The stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel frames while maintaining the tight tolerances required for competitive accuracy. Enhanced sights and trigger components separate this from basic government models.Key Features
