COLT 1911 Competition SS | .38 Super | 5″ | O1073CCS

The Colt 1911 Competition is a stainless-steel, match-oriented 1911 built around a 5-inch National Match barrel and Novak adjustable fiber-optic sights for precise sighting. It features G10 checkered grips with a scalloped profile, an upswept beavertail grip safety, an undercut trigger guard and a dual recoil spring system intended to reduce felt recoil and extend spring life. The pistol uses Colt’s Series 70 firing system and is finished in brushed stainless steel.

For a paired optic under $1000 consider a slide-mounted red-dot such as a Trijicon RMR, which complements the 1911 footprint and aids fast target acquisition without significantly altering grip or sight radius. Typical applications for this pistol include competitive pistol shooting and precision target work.
