trooper Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 G'day folks! I am searching for a gun to shoot Traditional with (finally) and its been hard. I need something with sights I can SEE....and was looking for a Remington R1... but that proved fruitless.. I HAVE found a Colt down here in Australia (at only a moderately eye watering price... ;D) BUT I'm thinking its being misidentified..or at least poorly described. It is advertised as a "Colt 1911 Government National Match" with a serial GV210XXX... I THINK it is just their basic "1911 Classic" (which comes with a "National match" barrel according to the catalogue) and would appreciate any help with confirming what it is based on that GV prefix??? Thankee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggus Deal Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I don’t have any more info on it but I’d jump on it if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Frank Norfleet Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Looks like a current production Colt 1911 Classic, O1911C. Found some on GunBroker that I could read the serial number in the photos and they all had GV serial numbers. Go to Colt.com and look under traditional pistols.
