The Colt Combat Elite Gov 45 ACP pistol is a purpose-built 1911 for shooters who demand a reliable, accurate defensive or competition sidearm in America's most storied handgun caliber. This 2-tone Elite stainless steel model pairs a polished slide with a matte frame finish, giving it a professional look that works equally well at the range or in a duty holster. With its 5-inch National Match barrel, extended thumb safety, and Novak night sights front and rear, the Combat Elite is built for shooters who want a 1911 that runs hard and shoots true out of the box.
Built on proven Series 70 architecture, this pistol features a dual recoil spring system that manages the .45 ACP's considerable energy while keeping the gun running smooth across thousands of rounds. The full-length guide rod and National Match barrel work together to deliver the kind of shot-to-shot consistency that separates a working 1911 from a safe queen. The polished slide flats catch the light and add to the aesthetic appeal without compromising function.
You get a full-size grip with G10 half-checkered panels and scalloped backstrap—ergonomic enough for extended shooting sessions, aggressive enough to stay put under recoil. The extended beavertail grip safety is a welcome feature that keeps your hand high and in control. At 36 ounces and 8.5 inches overall, this is a carry-capable full-size 1911 that doesn't feel like a compromise.
One magazine is included, so you'll want to pick up spares before heading to the range or field. Whether you're training for defensive readiness, competing in 1911 matches, or hunting with a time-honored caliber, the Colt Combat Elite delivers the accuracy and reliability that makes a 1911 worth carrying.

The Combat Elite is full-size with an 8.5-inch overall length and 36-ounce weight. While many shooters carry full-size 1911s, this model is more naturally suited to open carry, duty rigs, or range/competition use. If concealed carry is your primary mission, you might explore compact 1911 variants.
The Combat Elite ships with Novak night sights—a Novak Night front sight and a Novak Low Mount Night rear sight. These are designed for low-light shooting and are standard on many professional and competition 1911s.
One magazine is included with the pistol. We recommend purchasing additional magazines before your first range trip so you can maximize your shooting time and become familiar with reloads.
The National Match barrel is fit to tighter tolerances than standard 1911 barrels, delivering improved accuracy and reliability. Combined with the dual recoil spring system, it's what makes the Combat Elite a serious platform for competition, training, or defensive work.
