Colt Night Commander | .45 ACP | 4.25 in | O4840NC

The Colt Night Commander is a lightweight Commander‑length 1911 built for everyday carry and range use. It pairs a 4.25 inch barrel with a Cerakote finished aluminum frame and a blued slide, and it ships with Novak tritium night sights for low‑light visibility. For a compact red‑dot option under $1,000 that works well with the Night Commander, consider a Trijicon RMR Type 2 mounted to a compatible mounting plate.

Suggested uses: concealed carry (EDC) and precision practice at the range.
