Every component, from the blued slide to the polished flats, speaks of care, precision, and pride.
Whether displayed as a showpiece or appreciated for its engineering lineage, the Colt Government Model Series 70 in .38 Super embodies what Colt does best: blending American tradition, master engraving, and mechanical precision.
