The Colt MK IV Series 70 was available in 9mm and fits the time period. So whether it was Series 70 9mm or a Colt 38 Super converted (which was also available in Series 70), unless there's a close up you can go either way. While Colt didn't call the 38 Super a "Government Model" until the 70 Series, Government Model is probably a more accurate term for the Nighthawks page. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:54, 11 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

is it just me or does the "1911" look like the bore is too small to be a .45? Could it be a Star Model B instead? 67.193.240.76
