The Colt Combat Elite Government 9mm is a full-size 1911 from Colt with Novak night sights, an ambidextrous safety and a two-tone finish (Colt part no. O1072CE). A 5-inch National Match barrel gives it the Government-model sight radius, and G10 half-checkered grips with a scalloped cut keep the hold secure. A dual recoil spring system helps manage recoil in 9mm. It is built for shooters who want a premium two-tone 1911 for the range and for low-light carry.
