Colt MK IV Series 80 Government Model .380 Auto

Colt MK IV Series 80 Government Model .380 Auto – 1996 Production

Overview

Offered here is a Colt MK IV Series 80 Government Model .380 Auto, a compact single-action pistol that blends classic 1911 styling with the lighter-recoiling .380 ACP cartridge. Introduced by Colt in 1983 and produced through the late 1990s, the Government Model .380 was designed as a scaled-down 1911-style pistol offering familiar controls and handling in a smaller platform.

This example, serial number RR49063, dates to 1987 production according to Colt’s serial lookup information. The pistol features a 3¼-inch barrel, fixed sights, and traditional single-action operation, maintaining the clean lines and ergonomics of the classic Government Model while being roughly three-quarters the size of a full-size 1911.

The pistol remains in great overall condition and includes the factory box and an additional magazine, making it an appealing example for collectors of Colt pistols from the 1990s.
