Colt Government Model Zapata .38 Super 5" High Polish Stainless 9+1 O1911C-SS38-TYL

Colt 1911 Government Zapata

The Colt Government Model Zapata is a special edition full size 1911 that pairs classic Colt handling with commemorative artwork honoring Emiliano Zapata and Mexican independence. Chambered in .38 Super with a 5" barrel, this stainless Government Model keeps the familiar single action layout, steel frame, and GI style sights that define the platform. A TYL serial number prefix marks the pistol while gold plated parts and gold inlay set it apart from a standard stainless Classic.

The slide carries highly embellished Tierra y Libertad engraving with gold inlay, along with design elements tied to Zapata, the dahlia, and the winged heart. A high polish stainless finish on the steel frame and slide is contrasted by select gold plated components for a presentation grade look that still functions as a working Government Model. Gray pearl Kirinite grips with EZ gold engraving and a gold Colt medallion complete the controls, while a manual thumb safety and single action trigger preserve the traditional 1911 manual of arms.

This pistol is built for collectors who want a display worthy Colt that can still be shot. The 9+1 capacity, 8.5" overall length, and full size steel Government frame give it the balance and recoil control expected from a 5" 1911 in .38 Super. It is well suited to range use, commemorative collections, and anyone looking for a right hand Government Model that combines Colt heritage with distinctive Zapata engraving and gold accents.
