COLT 1911 Competition Pistol .45 ACP 5 in. Blued

Description

The Colt 1911 Competition is built for the shooter who wants a serious single-action platform ready for range work or competition without a long list of aftermarket modifications. It is a full-size Government-frame pistol, and everything about the specification points toward accuracy and control rather than concealment or compactness.

The National Match barrel is the centerpiece of the accuracy package. Match-grade barrels are held to tighter dimensional standards than standard production barrels, which translates to a more consistent lockup and tighter groups at distance — particularly relevant in .45 ACP where the projectile’s diameter already demands good concentricity. The dual recoil spring system distributes recoil forces across two springs rather than one, which softens the felt impulse and slows slide velocity slightly, giving the shooter a more manageable return to battery and a steadier sight picture between shots.

The Novak adjustable fiber optic sights reward that controlled recoil. The fiber optic front gathers ambient light and presents a bright, easy-to-acquire aiming point in varied lighting; the adjustable rear lets you dial the impact point to your preferred load rather than having to compensate with hold. An ambidextrous thumb safety and grip safety are standard, making the pistol accessible to either hand without modification.

The frame and slide are forged carbon steel with a blued finish, and the grips are scalloped G10 in blue — a material that holds texture through extended use and does not swell or warp with moisture the way wood can. The pistol ships with one eight-round magazine and spare sight fibers for the front post.
