Description
The Colt Combat Elite Government is a 9mm Luger handgun from Colt’s Combat Elite series. It combines a 5-inch barrel with a stainless steel frame, two-tone finish, G10 grips, and Novak night sights. We see this configuration as a range-oriented option for shooters who prefer the Government-size format and classic 1911 styling.

The stainless steel frame and slide provide the foundation for this full-size configuration, while the two-tone treatment separates the polished and black-finished surfaces. G10 grip panels with scalloped detailing add a distinct texture and visual contrast. The Novak night sights and listed dual-spring recoil system round out the feature set without adding unnecessary accessories. We stock it for shooters who want a traditional Government-size 1911 layout chambered in 9mm Luger. The Colt Combat Elite Government remains the focus.
