The Competition Series configuration features a 5" National Match barrel, with the hood marked "COLT 45 AUTO N.M." Government Model and "COMPETITION SERIES" rollmarks highlight its lineage. Chambered in .45 ACP with a 7+1 capacity, this is a full-size 1911 built on a carbon steel frame and slide with a matte blued/black finish.
Sighting equipment is set up for precision: a dovetailed fiber-optic front sight with a blue rod pairs with a fully adjustable rear sight. The slide includes rear-only serrations and a lowered, flared ejection port for reliable ejection without front cocking serrations.
Controls and ergonomics include a single-action trigger system, a thumb safety, and a beavertail grip safety with a raised memory pad. The long, skeletonized, three-hole aluminum trigger and skeletonized rowel/commander-style hammer support a crisp, responsive feel. A smooth front strap, flat mainspring housing, and blue/black textured G10 grips with the Colt logo complete the handling package.
Made in the USA, this Government Model Competition Series delivers the classic 1911 format with competition-focused upgrades. It ships with two 7-round magazines, the Colt factory case, and the owner's manual. Factory MSRP was $1,119.
