The Savage Arms 1911 Government is a full-size, single-action pistol chambered in .45 ACP — built on the proven Government frame that has defined defensive and duty shooting for over a century. This variant adds a accessory rail for light or laser mounting, Novak Lo-Mount Tritium night sights for low-light performance, and an ambidextrous safety setup that accommodates both right- and left-handed shooters. It ships with two 8-round magazines, making it ready to work from the moment it leaves the box.
