Colt Combat Unit CCO Series 80 .45 ACP 1911, 4.25 in Barrel, Black DLC, Night Fision Sights
This Colt Combat Unit CCO brings together a Commander-length slide and an Officer-length frame in a compact, carryable 1911 platform. It features a Black DLC finish over an aluminum alloy frame, a Colt .45 AUTO NM National Match barrel, and Night Fision sights. Thoughtful touches like front-strap checkering, a checkered mainspring housing with integral magwell funnel, and an undercut trigger guard make this a well-executed Series 80 pistol with practical upgrades.

This Series 80 Colt Combat Unit is the CCO configuration: a Commander-length 4.25 inch slide over an Officer-length frame for a compact footprint with a full-length sight radius. The slide and frame wear a durable Black DLC finish, and the lightweight aluminum alloy frame helps keep carry weight down without giving up the traditional 1911 feel.
The barrel is a Colt .45 AUTO NM National Match unit, paired with a lowered and flared ejection port for reliable ejection. Front and rear cocking serrations aid manipulation, and the slide carries the COMBAT UNIT marking. The frame shows the Colt manufacturer address, and the factory case label matches the pistol’s serial and model O9840CCU.
Night Fision sights are installed: a dovetailed front blade and a low-profile rear with set screw. Controls include a Series 80 firing pin block, an extended thumb safety, and a grip safety with memory pad. A skeletonized rowel (commander-style) hammer complements the setup.
Grip and handling features are well-sorted: a high-cut/undercut trigger guard, checkered front strap, and a checkered mainspring housing with an integral magwell funnel speed reloads and improve purchase. Gray/black textured G10-type panels with COLT script provide a firm hold, and the pistol ships with two 7-round magazines including a Wilson Combat ETM, plus an extra set of VZ grip panels.
