Colt Mfg O1911CBS38 Government 1911 38 Super 9+1 5"

The Colt Mfg O1911CBS38 Government 1911 38 Super 9+1 5" represents a modern iteration of the classic service pistol chambered in a cartridge favored for its flatter trajectory and high velocity. Originally preferred by law enforcement for its ability to penetrate early vehicle bodies and ballistic vests, this 1911 configuration serves as a primary sidearm for shooters who demand the reliability of the full-sized Government profile. This firearm bridges the gap between historical duty heritage and contemporary performance requirements for defensive or competitive use.

This semi-automatic pistol features a full-sized 5-inch barrel housed within a bright stainless steel slide and frame, providing the necessary mass to mitigate the snappy recoil impulse of the .38 Super round. The 9+1 capacity is achieved through a single-stack removable magazine, maintaining the slim ergonomic profile that has made the 1911 platform a standard for point-ability and trigger control. With an overall length of 8.5 inches, the firearm utilizes a traditional recoil system and fixed sights to ensure consistent cycling and a clear sight picture during rapid strings of fire.

Professionals and collectors seeking a high-performance variant of the Series 70 design will find the Colt Mfg O1911CBS38 Government 1911 38 Super 9+1 5" an ideal choice for both duty carry and range applications. The bright stainless steel construction offers superior corrosion resistance for holsters or humid environments where carbon steel might fail over time. This model is compatible with standard 1911 Government size holsters and aftermarket grips, allowing users to customize the interface while maintaining the mechanical integrity of the original Colt design.
