This TALO-exclusive Lightweight Commander (Model O) stands out with its Army Green aluminum alloy frame matched to a dark slide, creating a purposeful two-tone finish. The Commander-length 4.25-inch format keeps the classic proportions while reducing weight with the alloy frame.
The barrel is a Colt National Match unit, identified by the "COLT .45 AUTO N.M." hood marking. It uses the standard barrel bushing and a short recoil spring plug. The slide features a lowered and flared ejection port and a dovetailed rear sight cut, fitted with a fixed rear and a white-dot front blade.
Series 70 operation provides a single-action, short-recoil system without a firing-pin block. Controls include a grip safety and a single-side extended thumb safety. The short, solid, smooth-face trigger and skeletonized rowel hammer complement the checkered composite grip panels with molded Colt logos. The front strap is smooth with an undercut behind the trigger guard.
Chambered in .45 ACP with an 8+1 capacity, this configuration aligns with Colt MFG part number 04860XSE. It carries the prancing Colt logo and Commander rollmarks. A California DOJ roster entry exists for this model, adding practical accessibility to its appeal as a limited-edition TALO run of 1 of 125.
