The Colt Series 70 Government Model is the reissued production version of the pre-Series 80 1911, featuring the original collet-style bushing and no firing pin block. Favored by trigger-focused competition shooters and purists who prefer the lighter, crisper trigger that results from the absence of the firing pin safety, it is a competition favorite in USPSA Single Stack.
