A factory National Match 5" barrel is standard on this model. The pistol uses a short, solid trigger and a spur hammer, with a checkered magazine release for positive control.
Sights are fixed GI-style, with a staked front blade and a small square-notch rear. The slide wears rear-only, vertical serrations and a traditional blued finish with polished flats and matte rounds.
The frame and receiver are steel with a matching blued finish. A single-side manual thumb safety and grip safety are complemented by an arched mainspring housing, and the pistol is fitted with double-diamond checkered wood grips. This example is cataloged under Colt part number O1911C and is made in the United States.
