Colt Competition Ss 45acp 5" 8rd

The Colt Competition Stainless Steel 45 ACP 5" is a purpose-built 1911 platform competition pistol engineered for shooters who demand precision, control, and reliability under the timer. Built entirely in stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance, this model combines proven 1911 ergonomics with modern competition-grade features that reduce felt recoil and extend component life without sacrificing the crisp trigger response competitive shooters depend on.

Key specifications include a National Match barrel for enhanced precision, a Series 70 firing system that delivers a clean, predictable trigger pull, and a dual recoil spring system that manages impulse while extending spring longevity. The upswept beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard keep the pistol positioned low in the hand for positive control and reduced muzzle rise. Novak adjustable fiber optic sights enable quick target acquisition and precise sight picture adjustment for varying distances. Custom G10 grips provide aggressive purchase in all conditions. At 4.88 lbs with an 8-round capacity, this 45 ACP offers the classic 1911 weight and handling that competitive shooters expect.

This model suits experienced 1911 operators, competition shooters across IPSC, USPSA, and similar disciplines, and those seeking a duty-grade 45 ACP with tighter tolerances and refined ergonomics. The stainless steel construction performs reliably in high-round-count training sessions and environments where corrosion resistance matters. The 5-inch barrel is the recognized standard for competition and tactical 1911 platforms, balancing velocity, sight radius, and practical concealability.
