The slide and frame are finished in blue, with polished flats and matte rounds that highlight the Colt Rampant Colt logo on the slide. It uses rear-only vertical cocking serrations and a standard-size ejection port.
Ergonomic features include an arched mainspring housing and a smooth front strap. The pistol is equipped with a short, solid trigger and a spur hammer, along with a manual thumb safety and grip safety. Double-diamond checkered wood grips complete the classic look.
Fixed sights consist of a small blade front and a square-notch rear. Capacity is 7+1. The 73B serial prefix denotes reissue production, and this example was made in the United States.
