Crisp, Clean Barrel

One of the notable features of this Colt is its crisp, clean barrel. The bore presents well and is an important detail for anyone evaluating a used firearm.

As with any used firearm, prospective buyers should carefully review the photographs and examine the firearm’s overall condition, finish, markings, and mechanical features before purchase.

Blued Colt Finish

The pistol features a traditional blued finish, giving the Combat Commander its classic Colt appearance.

The blued-steel configuration is particularly recognizable on Colt’s traditional 1911-pattern pistols. Colt’s own specifications list Colt Blue as one of the factory finishes for the Combat Commander .45 ACP.

The finish should be evaluated from the photographs for the exact amount of wear, handling marks, or other cosmetic characteristics present on this individual firearm.

.45 ACP Chambering

The Combat Commander is chambered in .45 ACP, the traditional cartridge associated with the 1911 platform.

Colt’s specifications identify the Combat Commander .45 ACP with a 4¼-inch barrel and an 8-round magazine capacity for the referenced configuration.

Compact Commander Configuration

The Combat Commander retains the familiar proportions and controls of the 1911 design while using a shorter barrel than the traditional five-inch Government Model.

Colt describes the Combat Commander as having a 4.25-inch barrel, which is three-quarters of an inch shorter than a standard Government Model barrel.

This configuration gives the pistol its distinctive Commander profile while retaining the classic 1911 format.

Its combination of Colt manufacture, .45 ACP chambering, 4¼-inch barrel, traditional blued finish, and familiar 1911 controls makes this a distinctive addition to a Colt collection.
