There is something about a deep blued Government Model that no polymer pistol will ever replicate, and Colt leaned into that with this Series 70 Limited Edition. Built on the classic full-size 1911 frame in .45 ACP, it pairs a 5-inch National Match barrel with the Series 70 firing system, which skips the firing pin block found on Series 80 guns. The payoff is a cleaner, crisper trigger pull that purists have preferred for decades. Colt even went with the older four-line rollmark and rampant Colt on the slide, so the vintage character runs deeper than the finish.
While the bones are traditional, Colt added the touches people usually pay a gunsmith for. The front strap wears sharp 25 LPI checkering for a locked-in grip, the mainspring housing carries vertical serrations, and the upswept beavertail grip safety pairs with a commander-style hammer so you can ride a high grip without getting bitten. Up top, a Novak Lo-Mount carry rear sight and brass bead front sight give you a much faster, cleaner sight picture than the tiny GI sights of old. Checkered rosewood grips and a checkered 1918-pattern thumb safety, slide stop, and magazine release round out the old-school details.
This model, O1911SE-A1, is a limited production run with its own special serial number range, which makes it appealing whether you plan to shoot it regularly or tuck it away in the safe. It feeds from a 7-round magazine for 7+1 total capacity, measures 8.5 inches overall, and carries the heft that makes a steel-frame 1911 such a soft-recoiling .45. And since it is a true Government Model pattern, holsters, magazines, and upgrade parts are everywhere if you ever want to make it your own.
For anyone who has wanted a blued Colt with the Series 70 trigger feel and a few smart modern touches already done from the factory, this one checks the boxes without losing an ounce of its heritage.
The Series 70 firing system does not use the firing pin block found in Series 80 pistols. With fewer parts in the trigger path, the pull tends to feel cleaner and crisper, which is why the Series 70 setup remains a favorite among 1911 fans. It is also closer in spirit to the original Government Model design.
Yes, this is a limited production model with its own special serial number range, and reported production is capped in the low thousands. It also wears the older four-line rollmark with the rampant Colt, a detail collectors appreciate. That combination gives it appeal beyond just being a great range gun.
It ships with a Novak Lo-Mount carry rear sight and a brass bead front sight. That is a big step up from the small GI-style sights on traditional Government Models, giving you a faster and more precise sight picture at the range or for defensive use.
Yes. This is a true full-size Government Model pattern with a 5-inch barrel and 8.5-inch overall length, so standard single-stack .45 ACP 1911 magazines and Government-length holsters fit fine. The huge 1911 aftermarket also means grips, triggers, and other parts are easy to come by if you ever want to personalize it.
