Description
The COLT Combat Elite Government is a semi-automatic .45 ACP 1911 configured for range use and structured shooting practice. It combines a full-size Government frame with a 5-inch National Match stainless steel barrel, an optic-ready serrated slide, and a two-tone finish. We like this configuration for shooters who want familiar 1911 controls with an optic-compatible slide.

- The exterior uses a two-tone Elite finish with stainless and black components.
- The slide is optic ready and serrated for an optics-compatible configuration and slide manipulation.

The stainless steel frame and barrel give this Government-size 1911 a traditional material foundation, while the two-tone treatment separates the black slide from the stainless frame. G10 grips, an upswept beavertail, and ambidextrous controls shape the handling interface without changing the familiar 1911 layout. The optic-ready slide leaves room for a compatible sighting setup while retaining iron sights. We stock it for shooters who value classic 1911 proportions with current configuration features.
