It's an enhanced Government Model? This enhanced trigger is not something that I know. We are very familiar with the stainless steel finish. The double serrations on the barrel make it a XSE? The enhanced hammer is certainly a XSE?

Shot 100 rounds, no real jams, did have 3 failures to battery.. Not big, but still.
It is a problem. The weak point on any 1911 is the magazine. I'd toss any mag that mis-fired. Wilson offers a darn good mag alternative.
