Colt 1911 Competition OR .45 ACP 5″ O1070CCS-OR

The Colt 1911 Competition Optics-Ready is a full-size 1911 platform chambered in .45 ACP designed for competitive and serious range use. It features a 5-inch National Match barrel, stainless construction, G10 checkered blue grips, and an optics-ready slide compatible with Colt’s optics plate system. For a red-dot pairing under $1,000, a compact footprint dot such as the Trijicon RMR is a practical choice that will integrate with many Colt optics plates. This model is suited to competition and precision-range training where consistent accuracy and fast sight acquisition matter.
