Colt 1911 Competition Government 45 ACP Semi Auto Pistol - 8+1 Rounds | 5" Barrel | Composite Grips | Blue/Black

Love my colt competition! The only thing I would say is a negative was the fact it came with one mag and no replacement rods for the fiber optic sights. Other than that this Marine ran about 800 rounds through it with no issues. Great weapon especially for those who had it in the service. Ran some jhp plus p and no issues a lot of 230 ball ammo no issues. And it accuracy is great at 25 yards paired with a galco combat master holster. Good quality overall buds as usual great service!

When this product arrived I was greatly surprised! The workmanship was flawless and the finish was what I expected. The action was in typical Colt fashion. I have dealt with Bud's quite a bit recently and they never fail me! I received this product very quickly. I will continue to use Bud's in the future!

It is an amazing gun shoots like a dream and smooth. thank you Buds for helping me get an amazing firearm.

Not bad at all the gun and buds supersede my expectations as always for the price I like it.

A basic blued 1911 Series 70 Government with certain nice mods like the frame undercut behind the trigger guard and decent sights. Disappointed though as the slide finish is not the Colt quality I am used to from earlier years. There were two noticeable scratches on the slide - on top next to front sight and on right rear of slide. The firearm had a dirty barrel indicating more than just a couple of test rounds had been fired through it.....Unfortunate. Almost like it was a demo model......

I’m very fortunate to have been able to find the pistol I’ve been wanting as so many places have been out of stock for so long. Buds was the only place that I found that had it in stock. Thank you Buds guns.

I was a little hesitant to buy this as I felt the low price meant low expectations, but I was wrong. This is a very accurate, well built pistol that I’m proud to own. Feels good in my small hands, recoil is not excessive and overall looks good. Having never owned a cackle that was made during “tumulus times” I had nothing to compare with. But being a CZ fan convinced me to purchase this and just wanting another 1911. Did a few mods like a EdBrown mainspring and mag well and some Wilson grips it’s an awesome firearm!

Firstly, the interaction with buds was great. Gun arrived fast so no problem with buds. Colt on the other hand is a different story. First, the fiber optic front sight just immediately blew off the gun like second mag. No big deal I guess but maybe install the tube a little better Colt so it lasts 20 rounds. Next thumb safety broke within 50 rounds. That was great so gun is falling apart within a box of ammo. The good news is that for a company that has been making 1911s for over 100 years their quality has allowed me to learn some gunsmithing skill. The thumb safety was fit so bad I did a better job on my first attempt (setting aside that it broke). Now through 500 or so rounds it has had continual failures to feed basically from the first magazine using 7 and 8 round magazines from Wilson, Ed brown, Colt, mec gar, Springfield, and metal form. This is all while using federal, SIG, Winchester, and Remington 230 ball ammo. This Colt competition has been the most unreliable and fragile gun I have owned. I have Springfield, Dan wesson, Smith and Wesson and Tisas 1911's that all perform better. Beyond that the finish is adequate though very easily scratched, the trigger is heavier than any other 1911 I have shot almost 7 lbs, the grips are decent and when it is not breaking the accuracy is standard for almost any 1911. It is ashame this was allowed to leave the factory. Colt has clearly just tried to ride it's reputation because it can not be their quality. Since even if it was not breaking it would be average at best. Would not recommend this 1911 there are many better options and many for less money.

Colt perfection and Buds is amazing as always. Quick shipping and perfect product. Only buy my firearms from here.

It’s a Colt! Gorgeous and smooth action.
