The Colt 1911 Competition pistol in .45 ACP with a 5-inch barrel and two-tone finish (brand part no. O1070CCP-TT) pairs Colt’s classic 1911 platform with a fiber optic front sight for fast, accurate target acquisition. Colt builds the pistol with an adjustable rear sight and a two-tone finish that contrasts a stainless slide against a blued frame. The pistol ships with a single 8-round magazine, and the classic 1911 grip angle and trigger geometry carry through Colt’s long competition heritage. Among two-tone semi-auto handguns, this 1911 Competition configuration favors .45 ACP shooters who want classic Colt styling with modern sights.
