The Savage Arms 1911 Government delivers precision engineering in a modern interpretation of the classic 1911 platform. This full-size pistol combines traditional 1911 ergonomics with contemporary manufacturing techniques and premium materials. Built for shooters who demand reliability without compromising on accuracy or durability.
What Makes This Different
The black nitride finish on both the stainless steel slide and frame provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing or parkerizing. This treatment penetrates the metal surface rather than simply coating it, resulting in a finish that won't chip or wear off with heavy use. The serrated slide design enhances grip during press checks and malfunction clearances, while the beavertail grip safety ensures consistent hand positioning shot after shot.
Key Features
- Black nitride treated stainless steel construction for maximum durability and corrosion resistance
- 5-inch match-grade stainless steel barrel with black nitride finish for enhanced accuracy
- Serrated slide design provides secure grip for manipulation under stress
- Beavertail grip safety allows high grip positioning while preventing hammer bite
- VZ Grips provide aggressive texture for positive control in all conditions
- 10+1 capacity with reliable single-stack magazine design
- Standard 1911 dimensions ensure compatibility with existing holsters and accessories
The Government model's 5-inch barrel length maximizes velocity potential from 9mm ammunition while maintaining the balance that made the 1911 platform legendary. The stainless steel construction resists environmental factors that can compromise blued steel firearms, making this suitable for duty carry, competition shooting, and recreational use. The nitride treatment adds an extra layer of protection without affecting dimensional tolerances or accuracy potential.
