The Colt 1911 Government Engravers Model O1911C-SS38Z gives professional engravers, custom pistol builders and collectors a clean stainless-steel foundation for creating a truly personalized Colt.

The pistol retains the traditional proportions and operating characteristics of a full-size Colt 1911. Its configuration includes a 5-inch barrel, single-action trigger, traditional hammer, manual thumb safety and grip safety. Stainless-steel construction provides durability, corrosion resistance and a versatile surface for numerous engraving and finishing techniques.

This Engravers Model is supplied without factory-installed sights, allowing the custom builder to select and install sights that complement the finished project. With its desirable .38 Super chambering and unmarked stainless slide, the O1911C-SS38Z is an excellent starting point for a custom presentation pistol, commemorative firearm or personalized family heirloom.
