Description
This Colt Government Model is a C-prefix commercial production 1911, chambered in .45 ACP with the classic 5-inch barrel configuration. These pistols were produced for the commercial market rather than military contracts and are increasingly sought after by collectors due to their fit, finish, and historical placement alongside wartime production.
Marked “Government Model” on the frame, this example retains a clean, correct commercial profile with blued finish and black checkered grip panels. The pistol shows honest handling wear consistent with age, without signs of heavy abuse or modification, making it an excellent representative of Colt’s commercial output from the early 1940s era.
C-prefix Colts occupy a sweet spot in the collector market—bridging pre-war craftsmanship and wartime history—making them a strong addition for Colt collectors, 1911 enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a historically significant commercial Government Model.
