Colt's Series 70 Classic is a Government-size 1911 chambered in .38 Super, built in stainless steel with a 5-inch National Match barrel and checkered wood grips. One 9-round magazine is included, and the UPC is 098289112248. Note the condition carefully: the listing's specifications record it as used, while the supplier's text describes the pistol as new and shows a stock photo rather than the actual gun.

In North Carolina this is a range and collector's pistol first: a full-size steel 1911 in .38 Super with a National Match barrel. The purchase itself is quick, because the state dropped its pistol purchase permit in March 2023 and keeps no firearm registry. At the dealer you show photo ID and fill in Form 4473; if you carry a valid North Carolina concealed handgun permit, the dealer can accept it in place of the NICS check. Because the condition is listed two ways, ask for photos of the actual pistol before it ships.
