There's a reason the Government-size 1911 keeps showing up at matches more than a century after its design, and this Competition Series 70 is Colt leaning into that heritage with modern race-ready touches. The 5-inch National Match barrel and Series 70 firing system give you the crisp, clean trigger break the platform is famous for, while the dual recoil spring system takes the edge off felt recoil and stretches out spring life. In 9mm, an all-steel Government frame at 36 ounces soaks up what little recoil is left, so quick follow-up shots feel almost effortless.
The Blue Titanium Cerakote frame under a brushed stainless slide is a combination you don't see every day, and it turns heads at the range without sacrificing corrosion resistance. Gray G10 grips with a checkered scallop pattern lock your hand in place, and the upswept beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard let you ride high on the gun for better control. An extended thumb safety and skeletonized three-hole aluminum trigger round out a control setup that feels dialed in right out of the box.
Up front you get a Novak red fiber optic that grabs your eye the second the gun comes up, paired with a Novak adjustable rear so you can dial in your zero for your preferred match load. Colt even tosses in spare sight fibers, a small touch that tells you they expect this pistol to see real round counts.
Whether you're getting into USPSA production-style shooting, want a soft-recoiling 1911 for serious range days, or just appreciate a Colt that shoots as good as it looks, this one covers a lot of ground. It feeds from a 9-round magazine for 9+1 capacity, measures 8.5 inches overall, and carries the pony on the slide, which still means something to folks who know 1911s.
This one is set up for match work from the factory. You get a 5-inch National Match barrel, a Novak adjustable rear sight with a red fiber optic front, a dual recoil spring system that softens felt recoil, and a skeletonized aluminum trigger. The beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard also let you get a higher grip than a traditional GI-style 1911 allows.
No, the name refers to the color, not the material. The frame is stainless steel with a Blue Titanium Cerakote applied finish, which gives it that distinctive blue-gray look while adding a tough, corrosion-resistant layer. The slide is brushed stainless steel, so you get a durable two-tone package.
Noticeably softer. With a full-size steel frame weighing in around 36 ounces and the lighter recoil of 9mm, muzzle flip is minimal and follow-up shots come back on target fast. That's a big part of why 9mm Government models have become so popular for competition and high-volume range use, plus ammo costs less so you can practice more.
Correct, the Series 70 design omits the firing pin block found on Series 80 Colts. Most 1911 fans prefer it because there are fewer parts in the trigger path, which contributes to the cleaner, crisper trigger pull this system is known for. You still get an extended thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety for standard 1911 handling.
