Built as the direct commercial counterpart to the USMC CQBP program, this M45A1 features the non-"USMC" roll mark while retaining key program-driven attributes. The right side of the slide carries the "COLT★★★M45A1" legend, and the frame bears a "U.S." marking with a 2D data-matrix. The serial suffix is "EGA," tying it to the Marine Corps lineage.
The pistol uses a Government-length 5" National Match barrel, with the hood marked "COLT 45 AUTO NM" for easy verification. A full-length MIL-STD-1913 dust-cover rail with five slots provides a rigid mounting interface. The steel frame and vertically serrated mainspring housing support durability and control.
Controls include an ambidextrous thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump. The hammer is a skeletonized rowel/loop type, and the solid, medium-length trigger provides a familiar 1911 feel. The slide has front and rear cocking serrations, and the ejection port is lowered and flared.
Trijicon 3-dot tritium night sights cap the top end for low-light sighting. Capacity is 8+1 in .45 ACP. The Desert Sand/Tan finish covers both slide and frame, and textured multi-color G10 grip panels complete the package. This example dates to 2015-2016 and includes two 8-round magazines and the factory case with matching label.
