Colt Series 70 Competition 1911 45 ACP 5"

Colt Series 70 Competition 1911 Pistol

The Colt Series 70 Competition represents the pinnacle of modern 1911 design for the shooter who demands both tradition and performance. This is a serious competition pistol built on proven principles.

Design and Construction

The steel frame provides the weight and stability essential for accurate shooting, while the two-tone finish—combining polished and matte surfaces—delivers both aesthetic appeal and practical corrosion resistance. The 5-inch barrel strikes the ideal balance between sight radius and handling, a dimension refined through decades of competitive shooting.

Sighting and Control

Novak adjustable fiber optic sights cut through varying light conditions with speed and clarity. The undercut trigger guard allows a higher grip position, improving control and reducing muzzle rise during rapid fire. This is ergonomic design informed by real-world competition demands.

Grip and Handling

G10 checkered blue grips provide a secure, non-slip surface in all conditions. The material is durable, resists moisture, and maintains its texture indefinitely—no degradation like traditional materials.
