The Savage Arms 67205 1911 Government delivers modern manufacturing precision to the classic 1911 platform in 9mm Luger. This full-size pistol combines traditional 1911 ergonomics with contemporary stainless steel construction for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic 1911 models, this Government frame features an integral beavertail grip safety that provides enhanced control and reduces hammer bite. The serrated stainless steel slide offers superior grip for manipulation in adverse conditions, while the Brown VZ grips deliver consistent texture and moisture management. The 9mm chambering provides higher capacity and reduced recoil compared to traditional .45 ACP variants.
