Colt Combat Elite .45 ACP 3" Gray O7080CE

The Colt Combat Elite Defender is a single-action semi-automatic 1911 pistol in 45 ACP, with a 3-inch barrel, full stainless steel construction and a two-tone PVD finish. The maker says the compact 3-inch barrel and carry bevel slide allow maximum concealment. It has half-checkered black G10 grips with a scallop design, a genuine Novak night front sight and a Novak Low Mount Carry night sight, and it is 6.75 inches long overall and weighs 24 oz. Safeties are an ambidextrous extended thumb safety, an upswept beavertail grip safety and a Series 80 firing pin safety, and the solid aluminum trigger has a 4.56 lb trigger weight. The Dual Spring Recoil System reduces felt recoil while extending the recoil spring life, and a magazine cable lock is included.
