Colt 1911 Competition .45 Acp 5 in 8+1 Blued Carbon Steel

The Colt 1911 Competition Pistol brings the Competition Series legacy to shooters chasing split-second timer work and tight group shooting, with a 5-inch National Match stainless barrel, blued forged carbon steel slide and frame, and the updated Series 70 firing system that many competitive shooters trust for consistent single-action hammer-fired performance; chambered in .45 ACP with an 8+1 capacity and weighing 36 oz, this Government-model pistol pairs a Dual Spring Recoil System� to reduce felt recoil and extend spring life with Novak adjustable rear and genuine Novak red fiber optic front sights for fast sight acquisition on USPSA, IDPA, and bullseye stages. The upswept beavertail grip safety, undercut trigger guard and scalloped blue G10 grips keep the gun low in the hand for repeatable control, while the 3-hole aluminum trigger set at a 4.5—6 lb pull and serrated slide offer crisp breaks and positive manipulation in timed strings; ambidextrous thumb safety, locked-breech operation, match-grade 1:16 LH 6-groove barrel, and included spare sight fibers and cable lock round out a competition-ready 1911 that also serves serious range and precision target shooters—FFL transfer required.
