Description
The Colt Government Model Series 70, a variant of the 1911, is known for its 5-inch barrel, recoil-operated action, and single-action semi-automatic firing mechanism, chambered primarily in .45 ACP, but also available in .38 Super, 9mm Parabellum, and 9mm Steyr. Key features include a carbon steel frame and slide, 6-groove rifling with a 1:16 twist, and a 7-round magazine. The Series 70 designation signifies the absence of a firing pin safety, a feature introduced in the later Series 80 models.
