Colt CCU Government 9mm 5 in. Optic Ready Pistol

Description

The Colt CCU Government is a full-size 9mm pistol built around a single-action-only operating system and a 5-inch barrel. Its serrated slide is optic ready, while Novak front and rear night sights provide a factory sighting system. We see this configuration as a fit for range use and structured handgun practice where a full-size 1911 format makes sense.

Key Specifications

• The pistol is chambered in 9mm, a common centerfire handgun cartridge.
• The action is single action only, following the operating format listed for this model.
• The barrel measures 5 inches and uses a stainless steel National Match construction.
• The slide is optic ready and serrated, combining an optics-mounting provision with gripping surfaces for slide manipulation.
• The pistol uses Novak front and rear night sights as its listed sight system.
• The frame is made from carbon steel and has a black Ion Bond finish.
• The exterior has a matte black DLC finish for the listed surface treatment.
• The grips are made from G10, a material specified for the stock panels.
• Overall length measures 8.50 inches in this Government-size configuration.
• The listed unloaded weight is 2.50 pounds.

The undercut trigger guard, upswept beavertail grip safety, and checkered grip surfaces shape the hand interface without adding unsupported claims about results. An ambidextrous thumb safety and the listed grip safety provide the specified manual safety features. The matte black DLC exterior contrasts with the stainless barrel, while the optic-ready slide gives the configuration a modern mounting option alongside its fixed night sights. This is the Colt CCU Government configuration we would point toward when the requested feature set is a full-size 9mm 1911 with a 5-inch barrel and factory optics-ready slide.
