Seller Description For This Firearm
PISTOL: COLT FIREARMS MODEL MKIV SERIES 70 GOV'T MODEL 45 IMPORTED BY NV, SERIAL NUMBER 70G48146, SEMI - AUTOMATIC, 45 ACP (45 AUTO), NICKEL, CASE NOT INCLUDED, 5
Notes:
This is a used Colt 1911 MKIV Series 70 Government pistol chambered in 45 ACP with a LWS (Seecamp conversion).
It features a 5-inch barrel, 7-round magazine, grip safety, thumb safety, fixed sights, wood grips, and a combo stainless/chrome finish. Overall, this Colt is in good condition. There are some light scratches on the slide and frame that may not show well in the pictures because they are light and the glare of the slide. Also, the grips have light discoloration from handling.
Serial number 70G48146. Based on Colt's serial lookup, this pistol was manufactured in 1973 or 1974. This would be a good choice for home defense or for collectors.
An LWS stamp on the trigger guard of a Colt Government Model Series 70 indicates a rare double-action conversion performed by L.W. Seecamp Co. in the 1970s.
Mechanical Alteration: Features an added secondary forward trigger and external connection bar on the right side of the frame to convert the single-action 1911 into a double-action-first system.
Cosmetic Changes: The side alteration is hidden by a contoured metal cover plate, and the frame/trigger guard area was modified or reshaped during the custom gunsmithing process.
Finish Integrity: Look closely at the finish. Seecamp often finished these in hard chrome.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. These photos are the best statement of condition; please review them carefully before purchasing.

Seller Q&A
WARNING
Why Buy from Guns.com?
PEACE OF MIND
Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.

While just a hair larger than a micro 9mm, the VP9CC pistol is more controllable and still very easy to conceal comfortably with an optic. It’s a pricier option, but I shoot it better than any other gun its size, and it’s been 100 percent reliable.
