Colt 1911 M45a1 45 ACP 5 in 8 rd Fde Dlc Desert Tan G10

The Colt 1911 M45A1 pistol brings the proven Colt Rail Gun/Marine Pistol lineage to civilian hands as the Close Quarters Battle Pistol adopted by the United States Marine Corps, offering a 5-inch National Match stainless steel barrel chambered in .45 ACP for consistent accuracy and authority in CQB, duty, and defensive roles. Built on a brown Decobond-coated stainless receiver and serrated slide with DLC wear resistance, this single-action pistol balances a 40 oz weight and 7+1 capacity for controllable recoil and rapid follow-up shots, while the Desert Tan G10 grips and flat, serrated mainspring housing with lanyard loop give durable handling under stress. The M45A1 series includes an extended ambidextrous thumb safety, enhanced hammer, and Novak 3-dot night sights that aid sight acquisition in low light, plus a MIL-STD 1913 accessory rail to accept lights or lasers for entry work and home defense. Whether training on the range, serving in security or tactical roles, or collecting a service-issue style 1911, shooters will appreciate the SAO trigger feel and rugged stainless construction; FFL transfer is required for purchase.
