The Colt Post-War Ace Service Model .22 LR (1978 production) is a classic rimfire 1911 built to mirror the size, weight, and handling characteristics of Colt’s full-size Government Model pistols.

Chambered in .22 LR, this pistol features an all-steel frame and slide, a 5-inch barrel, and a crisp single-action trigger consistent with Colt’s traditional 1911 design. The Ace Service Model uses a dedicated rimfire operating system while maintaining the familiar grip angle, sight radius, and balance that made it an effective training platform for service and competition shooters alike.

Manufactured in 1978, this Post-War Ace represents one of the later production examples of Colt’s rimfire 1911 lineage and is increasingly sought after by collectors and Colt enthusiasts. The Colt Ace Service Model .22 LR stands as a respected collectible from Colt, combining practical training heritage, classic styling, and enduring Colt craftsmanship.
