Colt Mfg Competition Government 45 ACP 5" 8+1 SAO Pistol - Optic Ready, Stainless

The Colt Competition Government is a purpose-built 1911-pattern competition pistol chambered in .45 ACP, engineered for accuracy, speed, and modern optic-ready customization. Built on the classic Government-length platform, this single-action-only pistol pairs a 5-inch National Match barrel with a stainless steel slide and frame for repeatable performance on the range or in competition.

Both the frame and slide are machined from stainless steel with a bright stainless finish that resists corrosion during heavy range use. The slide is optic-ready with serrations at the front and rear, allowing shooters to mount a reflex red-dot optic alongside the installed Novak fiber-optic front sight and adjustable rear sight.

Competition ergonomics come courtesy of checkered Blue G10 grips that provide a confident, textured hold under recoil, while an ambidextrous thumb safety lets both left- and right-handed shooters operate the pistol with equal speed. The pistol ships with a single 8-round magazine for an 8+1 total capacity. At roughly 36 ounces, the Competition Government balances well for one-handed range work and rapid follow-up shots.

Whether you are shooting competitive matches or simply want a feature-rich range 1911 with modern optic-ready capability, the Colt Competition Government O1070CCS-OR delivers the heritage of America's most iconic pistol with the upgrades today's shooters demand.
