Which version of the 1911 is this firearm based on? Is it a Government Series 70? I'm looking for one with a firing pin safety

Question

Hi Zachary and welcome. This model has a firing pin safety similar to Colt's Series 80 (Kimber's Swartz-type firing pin block system). Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Randy I. · Answer

no it is a swartz type firing pin safety. series 70 has no block, the series 80, uses the action of the trigger to unblock the firing pin. The Swartz uses the movement of the grip safety to unblock the firing pin.
