****Post-War COLT GOVERNMENT 1911 Series 70***MADE IN 1964 **** in .38 Super Semi-Auto w/Colt MK IV-Series 70 Match Barrel*****

Description:
The .38 Super originated with the Colt M1900 pistol chambered for the .38 ACP cartridge. In the late 1920s, Colt improved both the gun and the cartridge to go with it.[7] The .38 Super was capable of penetrating automobile bodies of the late 1920s. 
The .38 Super, also known as .38 Super Auto, .38 Super Automatic, .38 Super Automatic +P (High Pressure Variant), .38 Super +P (High Pressure Variant), introduced in the late 1920s as a higher pressure loading of the .38 ACP, also known as .38 Auto. The older .38 ACP cartridge propels a 130-grain (8.4 g) bullet at 1,050 ft/s (320.0 m/s), whereas the .38 Super pushes the same bullet at 1,280 ft/s (390.1 m/s).[5] The .38 Super has gained distinction as the caliber of choice for many top practical shooting competitors; it remains one of the dominant calibers in IPSC competition.

This Colt 1911 Government, made in 1964 and chambered in .38 Super blends all the tradition of a 1911 silhouette with a National Match barrel and stainless finish for durability and accuracy on the range. This model features the Series 70 firing system and fixed straightforward sighting. Built on a steel frame with a brushed stainless slide and barrel, it is presented as a full-size Government 1911 platform. Offering a balance of traditional 1911 ergonomics and match-oriented components. For shooters who value heritage, solid construction and straightforward functionality in a 1911 full-size frame.
