Colt Government Competition .45 Auto 5" Stainless

The Colt Government Competition: Purpose-Built for Precision

The Colt Government Competition represents the pinnacle of 1911 design refined for competitive shooting. Built on the proven single-action platform that has served shooters for over a century, this pistol combines time-tested reliability with features specifically engineered for accuracy and performance.

Accuracy and Sight Picture

At the heart of this pistol lies a 5-inch National Match barrel, the gold standard for 1911 accuracy. Paired with Novak adjustable fiber optic sights, you get a sight picture that cuts through range glare and poor lighting conditions. The adjustable design allows fine-tuning for your specific load and shooting distance.

Trigger and Control

The Series 70 firing system delivers the clean, crisp trigger pull that competition shooters demand. The upswept beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard work together to position the pistol naturally in your hand, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions and improving shot placement consistency.

Durability and Longevity

Stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making this pistol equally at home on the competition circuit or at your local range. The dual recoil spring system reduces felt recoil while extending the service life of critical components—a practical consideration for shooters who put rounds downrange regularly.
