Description
Product Overview
The Colt Combat Elite Defender is a compact 1911-style pistol built for discreet carry while retaining the handling characteristics of a full-size 1911. Its three-inch stainless steel barrel and carry-beveled slide are paired with a two-tone PVD finish for corrosion resistance and a distinctive appearance. A dual-spring recoil system helps reduce felt recoil and extend recoil spring service life. Novak Tritium night sights provide a visible aiming reference in low-light conditions, while the ambidextrous extended thumb safety, upswept beavertail grip safety, and Series 80 firing pin safety provide layered protection. The solid aluminum trigger is factory set at approximately 4.5 to 6 pounds, and black scalloped G10 grips provide a secure, durable hold.

This is my second COLT...
This is my second COLT 1911 Elite the first was the COLT 1911 commander in 9MM. Now I know 9MM is this eras round but to me well meh. I still prefer my .38 Specials, .357 Magnums and my all time favorite the .45ACP There is just something special about .45 ACP and the way it feels when fired. Proud to say this 3 inch 1911 officer elite defender is jsut as accurate as anyone could want right out of the box 230 Grain federal ball ammo nothing special and accuracy just seems inherent in the design by Colt. Pretty shocking to be hitting bulls eyes and not even being familiar with the gun! Yeah its a keeper and will by riding 3 O'clock daily. The recoils feels no different than my .45ACP 4.2 inch 1911 stainless commander by Sig Sauer. Accuracy is just as good as my 4.25 Inch 9mm model of this gun. It doesn't have the 9 MM snap, just that typical good feeling rolling push. When you fire this you know this is something special and unapologetic, accurate without effort and feels just right. This is one of two firearms that arrived from Buds great prices and ya cant beat try before you buy for only $15.00, pleased to say both were brand new and showroom perfect, heck they could teach Amazon a few tricks about fast shipping. Thanks Buds. "Make mine Buds"
