This TALO Special Edition Lightweight Commander is a distributor-exclusive run limited to just 125 pistols. Its two-tone finish combines a matte blued slide with an Army Green anodized aluminum alloy frame, giving it a distinctive look tied directly to the limited offering. The case label details match the firearm, and the model code is O4860XSE.
Built in Series 70 configuration, it omits a firing-pin block for a traditional 1911 action. The 4.25 in National Match barrel uses a standard 1911 bushing system, and the barrel hood is marked "COLT 45 AUTO N.M." The slide features rear cocking serrations and a lowered and flared ejection port.
Sight regulation comes from Novak-marked low-mount fixed 3-dot sights with a dovetailed front. Controls include an ambidextrous manual thumb safety and an extended, upswept grip safety. The flat, serrated mainspring housing balances a smooth front strap for a clean, purposeful grip profile.
Performance-oriented components include a skeletonized Commander-style hammer and an aluminum trigger. Textured composite grip panels with Colt logos provide a positive hold. Chambered in .45 ACP with an 8+1 capacity, this Commander-size 1911 delivers classic handling in a lightweight package made in the USA.
