Description:
This is a nice 1984 vintage Colt Mk IV Series 80 Government Model 1911 in a factory nickel finish.  It appears to be a "transitional" pistol in that it still has some 70 Series parts in it including the barrel and collet-style barrel bushing, as well as the trigger.  While there is no way to know for sure, we are resonably sure that the 70 Series barrel and collet barrel bushing came in this gun from the factory.  It seems that during the early 1980's Colt had a habit of using up left-over parts in their 1911s.  This Colt is in good condition overall and is very attractive.  The factory nickel finish still looks nice and bright and clean, and the handling/wear marks are all very minor.  The worst spot in the finish is actually in the matted area on the underside of the grip safety.  As you can see from the pictures of that spot it is just some staining and really does not detract much from the clean look of the pistol.  The bore in this Colt is in minty condition with strong rifling and no pitting ,erosion, or visible imperfections.  The checkered Walnut factory grips are in excellent condition.  The checkering is clean and crisp, and the wood is free from any cracks, chips, or repairs.  The action on this Colt is nice and smooth when worked by hand and the slide is nice and tight to the frame.  All of the controls are in perfect working order and the trigger is nice and crisp.  If you have been looking for an attractive Colt 1911 for your collection that you can enjoy looking at AND shooting at the range, this Government Model would be a superb choice.
