COLT 1991 GOVERNMENT 1911 PISTOL FULL SIZE .45 ACP

The 1991 Series is about as close as you can get to the original Colt 1911 A1. The exterior of the pistol is nearly identical to the original. The tang of the grip safety is slightly more extended to prevent "hammer bite", but the amount of extension is barely noticeable.

The solid trigger is longer than on the original, and also longer than most current 1911 triggers, and is meant for the user who prefers a longer trigger pull.

Another exception is the sights. The rear sight is a partridge type, which provides a bit more precise sight picture than the original GI sights.

With these exceptions, the 1991 is a clone of the 1911A1. Compare the 1911 above to a well-worn 1911A1 from World War Two:

This Colt 1991 is finished in a deep blue, and comes with rich double-diamond checkered rosewood grips. It's an outstanding pistol in every respect.
