Colt Competition Filigree Slide | .45 ACP | 5″ Barrel

The Colt Competition Model “Filigree Slide” is a 1911 Government–style single-action pistol in .45 ACP with a 5″ barrel and a stainless frame.

Suggested optic pairing: a compact pistol red dot such as the Trijicon RMR Type 2, which is commonly priced well under $1,000 and is a practical choice for competitive and target setups when an appropriate slide cut or mounting solution is used.

Common applications for this pistol include competitive shooting and precision target/range training.
