Colt’s Manufacturing 1911 Government Engravers Model Pistol

Product Description

The Colt’s Manufacturing 1911 Government Engravers Model is a single-action pistol chambered in .38 Super Auto +P. It has a 5″ barrel on a Government-size frame, and it holds 9+1 rounds. One magazine is included.

The name tells you what sets it apart. This is the Engravers Model, and it carries no roll marks. The frame is stainless steel and the slide finish is stainless steel too. Wood double diamond grips finish the look. Overall length is 8.5″, and the pistol weighs 35 oz.

How it runs

This is a classic single-action design. It uses an external hammer and a single stack magazine. A manual safety is built in, so you get the familiar controls 1911 shooters expect.

It suits collectors, 1911 fans and anyone who likes the .38 Super Auto +P chambering. It also fits a shooter who wants a stainless Colt with a plain, unmarked look.

Good gear to pair with it includes a holster cut for a Government-size 1911 with a 5″ barrel, spare single stack magazines, a padded range bag and a basic cleaning kit. Pick up quality .38 Super ammunition too. Check that any ammunition you choose is rated for this pistol.
