Colt Combat Unit CCU Concealed Carry Officers .45 ACP

The Colt Combat Unit: Purpose-Built for Concealed Carry

The Colt Combat Unit represents a collaboration between Colt's engineers and US Special Forces trainers—professionals who understand what a defensive pistol must do under pressure. The result is a compact 1911 that balances power, control, and concealability.

Design and Construction

The CCU features a compact anodized aluminum frame paired with a Commander-length slide, creating a package that's easier to carry without sacrificing the .45 ACP's stopping power. The black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish on the slide provides superior corrosion resistance and a professional appearance.

Controls and Ergonomics

• Ambidextrous extended thumb safety for both right- and left-handed shooters
• Upswept beavertail grip safety ensures proper hand placement and recoil control
• Undercut trigger guard allows a higher grip for better control
• Extended magwell speeds up magazine changes when seconds count
• Custom G10 grips with 25 LPI checkering and scallop texture provide secure, non-slip traction

Sights and Accuracy

Novak night sights come standard, offering a clean, uncluttered sight picture for quick target acquisition in any light condition. The National Match barrel ensures the precision you need for accurate shot placement.

Reliability and Safety

Colt's Series 80 firing system provides a mechanical safety against accidental discharge. Front and rear angled slide serrations aid in manipulation and give the gun a purposeful appearance.
