Its 5-inch stainless National Match, non-bull barrel uses a traditional GI bushing and plug and is supported by a dual recoil-spring system. The barrel hood is marked COLT 45 AUTO N.M., with a bright stainless hood that contrasts the desert-tan finish.
Novak-profile 3-dot tritium night sights by Trijicon top the slide, with the front sight marked 'H3 13'. Controls include a Series 80 firing pin safety, solid aluminum trigger, upswept beavertail grip safety, and a skeletonized rowel (Commander-style) hammer.
Grips are textured multi-color G10, paired with a flat serrated mainspring housing and lanyard loop. Government-size dimensions, a 7+1 capacity, and an unloaded weight of about 40 oz deliver the classic 1911 format. The frame carries a U.S. marking and UID/QR data matrix with an EGA-suffix serial, and the packaging and accessories align with early-run commercial examples from 2014.
