The Colt Competition 1911 9mm National Match pistol is a full-size Government Model pistol from Colt that was designed with the competitor in mind (Colt part no. O1972CCS). A 5-inch National Match barrel pairs with Novak’s adjustable rear sight and a fiber optic front sight, so acquiring and holding the target is easy. An undercut trigger guard and an upswept beavertail let the shooter set the hand higher on the grip. It is a solid starting point for a 9mm 1911 built around match performance.
