The Colt 1911 Government Competition: Built for Serious Shooters
Colt's Government Competition model represents the pinnacle of 1911 design for competitive shooting. This is not a defensive pistol pressed into service on the range—it's a purpose-built competition tool that demands respect.
Design and Construction
The stainless steel frame and slide provide corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that will endure years of hard use. The 5-inch National Match barrel delivers the accuracy expected in competition, with tight tolerances and precise machining that separates this pistol from standard production models.
Ergonomics and Control
The upswept beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard keep the pistol sitting low in your hand, allowing for a higher, more secure grip that translates directly to better control and faster sight recovery. Custom G10 checkered grips in blue provide a secure, non-slip purchase in all conditions.
Sighting and Accuracy
Novak adjustable fiber optic sights—featuring a red fiber optic front sight paired with an adjustable rear—provide rapid target acquisition and precision aiming. The sights are battle-tested and proven in competition environments.
Reliability and Function
The dual recoil spring system reduces felt recoil while extending spring life, allowing you to shoot more rounds with less fatigue. The Series 70 firing system delivers a clean, crisp trigger pull that competitive shooters demand. Includes two 8-round magazines and spare sight fibers.
