Colt redesigned the barrel bushing from a solid cylindrical type to a spring-steel, 'finger cullet' bushing that gripped the end of the barrel, which had also been slightly redesigned with a slight belled end to accommodate the cullet bushing. From 1911 until 1970 there were virtually no significant changes to the basic design, but the year 1971 saw the first mechanical 'improvement' to the 1911-type pistol. However, in its 90-plus years of production the design has seen many slight evolutionary changes in the name of improved (or cheaper) manufacture, product safety, and market trends.

Anything that says '80' series, or model 1991, the gun has the Firing Pin Safety System. But the 70 series term is now used only to indicate no Firing Pin Safety. The Mark IV is sort of a production era, I'm not sure what the exact meaning is.

The Government Model has a 5” barrel with checkered walnut grips adorned with the Colt medallion.
