The Commander-length 4.25 inch barrel uses a standard barrel bushing and a short recoil spring plug. The barrel hood is marked "COLT .45 AUTO," and the pistol operates on a short-recoil, tilting-barrel system. Capacity is listed at 8+1.
Enhanced-line features are present, including slanted rear cocking serrations, a lowered ejection port, a duckbill grip safety, and a ring hammer. The arched, vertically serrated mainspring housing and smooth front strap are combined with an undercut trigger guard for a secure, comfortable hold. The E-suffix serial configuration aligns with Colt’s Enhanced production.
Sights are fixed 3-dot with a one-dot front and two-dot rear, providing a simple, durable sight picture. Controls and safeties include single-action-only operation, a manual thumb safety, a grip safety, and the Series 80 firing pin block.
The slide and frame wear a uniform blued finish over steel construction. The installed Pachmayr Gripper wrap-around rubber grips add finger grooves and Colt medallions. Three magazines are included, with the mix noted to include examples featuring a bumper-pad baseplate.
