There is a reason the 1911 still shows up on the line at matches more than a century after it was designed, and the Colt 1911 Competition Two-Tone is a good example of why. Colt took the classic Government-size .45 ACP and gave it the upgrades competitors ask for, then wrapped it in a two-tone finish that pairs a brushed stainless steel frame with a deep blued slide. It looks sharp on the bench, and the stainless frame shrugs off sweat and holster wear better than a blued gun ever will.
The heart of this pistol is a 5 inch National Match barrel matched to Colt's Series 70 firing system, which skips the firing pin block for a cleaner, crisper trigger break. The 3-hole aluminum trigger keeps things light up front, and the dual recoil spring system takes the edge off .45 ACP recoil while stretching out spring life between replacements. Up top you get a Novak red fiber optic front sight and a Novak adjustable rear, so you can dial in your zero for your preferred load and pick up the front sight fast on the clock. Colt even tosses in spare sight fibers in the box.
Control is where this gun separates itself from a standard Government model. The custom black and grey G10 grips are aggressive without chewing up your palms, and 25 LPI checkering on the front strap and mainspring housing locks the gun in during rapid strings. An upswept beavertail grip safety lets you ride high behind the slide without hammer bite, and the undercut trigger guard gets your hand closer to the bore axis for flatter recovery between shots. At 36 ounces of all-steel construction, the pistol soaks up recoil the way a full-size 1911 should.
Whether this is your first 1911 or your fifth, the Competition Two-Tone covers a lot of ground. It is match-ready out of the box, accurate enough for bullseye work, and classic enough to just be a great .45 to own. It ships with one 8-round magazine, and it feeds well from quality aftermarket mags when you are ready to stock up.
The Series 70 system used in this pistol does not have a firing pin block tied to the trigger, which is why the trigger pull feels cleaner and crisper with less takeup. Series 80 guns add a firing pin safety that introduces extra parts into the trigger path. Competitors tend to prefer Series 70 triggers because they are easier to tune and break more predictably.
Yes, the rear Novak sight is adjustable, so you can fine-tune your point of impact for different bullet weights and loads. The front sight is a Novak blade with a red fiber optic insert that grabs light and speeds up sight acquisition. Colt also includes spare sight fibers in the box in case the front rod ever wears out or breaks.
It will. This is a full-size Government pattern 1911 with a 5 inch barrel, so it fits standard Government-length holsters and runs on single-stack .45 ACP 1911 magazines. It ships with one 8-round magazine, and quality mags from makers like Wilson Combat or Chip McCormick are a popular add-on.
The name comes from the match-focused upgrades, but it makes an excellent all-around .45. The National Match barrel and adjustable sights give it real accuracy for target work, while the 36 ounce all-steel build keeps recoil soft for casual range sessions. Plenty of buyers pick this one up simply as a nicely upgraded classic Colt.
