Description
The Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP is a shortened, lightweight variant of Colt’s classic 1911 platform, introduced in 1970. Built with a 4.25‑inch barrel and originally offered with an aluminum frame (later available in steel), the Combat Commander was designed to provide improved portability while retaining the proven performance of the full‑size Government Model. Chambered in .45 ACP, it operates on the traditional single‑action, recoil‑operated 1911 system and features familiar elements such as a thumb safety, grip safety, and crisp trigger pull.
Balancing reduced size with solid handling characteristics, the Combat Commander became popular among those seeking a more compact 1911 without sacrificing shootability. It remains a respected variation within the Colt 1911 lineage and a notable example of the evolution of the classic American service pistol.
Good condition, very dependable.
