COLT O1080CCU | Combat Unit Government .45 ACP 5″

The Colt Combat Unit (CCU) Government is a full-size 1911-style pistol built on a steel frame with a 5″ National Match barrel and a matte black DLC finish. It pairs precision-oriented features such as Novak front and rear sights and G10 checkered gray grips with a Series 80 firing system intended to provide consistent, controlled operation. For a red-dot option under $1,000 that complements the sighting plane and duty-style ergonomics, consider the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro.
