Overview
The 1983 Colt MK IV Series 80 Combat Government Model is a .45 ACP, single-action 1911-style pistol featuring a 5-inch barrel, a blued finish, and a 7+1 capacity. It includes a Series 80 firing pin safety and a collet-style barrel bushing. It is recognized as a reliable, full-size variant of the Series 80 line produced in that era, often featuring walnut grips with Colt medallions.
