The 1911 was designed to go bang when you need it to, and it does that extremely well. Insert a mag, release the slide, and hammer away until the single-stack magazine is empty. The 1911 is a fundamentally uncomplicated gun.

Unlike the stories you hear of pistols that literally rattled in the hands of GIs in WWII, this gun makes no such sound.Įach pistol ships with two, seven-round flush magazines, both bearing the company name and the Rampant Colt on the floorplate. The fit between the slide and the frame is excellent. It’s a good-looking gun, classic to be sure with cues taken from the original including the spur hammer, solid trigger and non-flared ejection port. The entire gun, all the way down to the grip screw heads, has the same uniform finish. No, it doesn’t boast a luxurious, polished blue sheen, but it does have a clean, almost black finish to it.

The Colt Series 80 is an eye-catcher, right out of the box. While Colt has reintroduced the Series 70, the gun reviewed here is a Series 80 model, which has an MSRP that is $100 less than the Series 70. Many a keystroke has been dedicated to the differences between the Colt Series 70 and Series 80 pistols. Plenty of reviews are done for 1911s from all kinds of manufacturers, but we don’t seem to see as many honest-to-goodness Colts put through their paces. The gun up for review is a newly-manufactured Colt 1911 Government Model.
