Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP 4.25" Blued 1911

The Colt Combat Commander: Proven 1911 Performance in a Carry-Friendly Package

The Colt Combat Commander represents the marriage of legendary 1911 design with practical carry considerations. This is a genuine 1911 platform pistol—not a compromise, but a thoughtful refinement for shooters who demand both power and portability.

Design and Ergonomics

With a 4.25-inch barrel and 7.75-inch overall length, the Combat Commander splits the difference between a full-size Government Model and a compact Officer's model. This geometry makes it genuinely concealable while maintaining the sight radius and handling characteristics that make the 1911 famous.

The upswept beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard allow you to hold the pistol higher on the frame, improving control and accuracy. Custom G10 checkered grips in black cherry provide a secure, non-slip purchase in all conditions.

Mechanical Excellence

Dual Spring Recoil System reduces felt recoil while extending the service life of the recoil spring—a practical benefit for shooters who put rounds downrange regularly.

Fixed Sights: Genuine Novak white dot front sight and low-mount carry rear sight provide fast, reliable target acquisition without the complexity of adjustable sights.

Safety Features: Extended thumb safety, Series 80 firing pin safety, and the grip safety work together to provide multiple layers of protection.
