The Colt Government Model 1911 in .38 Super delivers enhanced velocity and flatter trajectory compared to standard .45 ACP variants. This full-size pistol combines Colt's century-plus manufacturing expertise with the high-performance .38 Super cartridge for competitive shooting and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
The .38 Super chambering provides significantly higher muzzle velocity than traditional 1911 calibers, generating approximately 1,280 fps with 130-grain projectiles. The royal blue finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing processes while maintaining the classic 1911 aesthetic. Colt's Series 70 firing system eliminates the firing pin safety for a cleaner trigger break preferred by competitive shooters.Key Features
