The M1991 even has the straight rear grip line of the original 1911 model. Even its model nomenclature, M1991, evokes its military heritage, and is only one digit different than the Colt WW1 original (M1911). Its overall Parkerized finish and checkered black plastic grips reinforce this utilitarian image.
Otherwise, this pistol looks much like the old fashioned military veteran. The ejection port has been slightly enlarged for more reliable function. Among the most noticeable of these are an extended tang on the grip safety to help prevent hammer "bite" and improved Patridge-type sights for faster, more accurate aiming. The Colt Series 80, M1991 Government Model incorporates a few modern improvements compared to the original M1911 Government Model pistol. By Chuck Hawks Illustration courtesy of Colt's Mfg.
