COLT Custom Carry Government | .45 ACP | 5 in. | O1080CS

The COLT Custom Carry Government is a hand-fitted, full-size 1911 built by Colt’s Custom Shop and finished in a Smoke DLC for corrosion resistance. Chambered in .45 ACP with a 5-inch national match barrel, it pairs traditional 1911 ergonomics with modern shop-level fit and finish. Novak fixed sights and a Gen2 magwell are included to aid consistent handling. For a red-dot optic under $1,000 that complements the slide profile and performance, consider the Trijicon RMR Type 2.
