The Colt 1911 Competition distinguishes itself from other 1911 models through several performance-oriented features specifically designed for competitive shooting. Available in corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this model features custom G10 grips, an upswept beavertail grip safety, and an undercut trigger guard that positions the pistol low in the hand for enhanced control. The Colt 1911 Competition is offered in several finishes, including Stainless Steel, Blued, and Two-Tone (with a blued slide and stainless steel frame). The dual recoil spring system reduces not only felt recoil but also extends the life of the recoil springs, which makes it a reliable choice for competitive settings. The National Match Barrel, combined with Novak adjustable fiber optic sights, ensures exceptional accuracy, while the Series 70 Firing System provides a clean, crisp trigger pull, ideal for competitive shooting. Hand-assembled by Master Gunsmiths at the Colt Custom Shop, the 1911 Custom Competition includes several features that enhance its performance and usability. The pistol is equipped with a fully blended magwell for smoother reloads and 25lpi front strap checkering for a secure grip. The Bo-Mar style rear sight and Clark dovetail front sight offer precise aiming. The inclusion of features like the throated barrel, flared magwells, ejection ports, and custom tuning make the Colt 1911 Custom Competition a formidable contender in any shooting competition, whether chambered in .45 ACP, 9mm, or .38 Special.
