Colt 1911 Classic Features Colt 1911 Classic is built around a 5-inch National Match carbon steel barrel finished in black fitted in a royal blue carbon steel frame and slide that showcases the deep mirror-like polish finish that defined American handgun craftsmanship for generations. The royal blue finish is applied to both the frame and slide for a consistent striking appearance that elevates this pistol beyond standard production 1911s into collectible and heirloom territory. Fixed 3-dot sights provide a reliable low-profile aiming solution on a platform whose heritage and aesthetics are as much a part of its appeal as its function. The Series 70 firing system delivers a clean direct single-action trigger pull without the additional transfer bar components of the Series 80 and the ambidextrous thumb safety paired with a beavertail grip safety provides a layered active and passive safety package accessible to both right- and left-handed shooters. An exposed hammer and serrated slide provide positive visual and tactile confirmation of action state and positive manipulation during administrative handling. The carbon steel frame with beavertail provides the weight and feel of a traditional steel-framed 1911 in the classic Government profile. Double Diamond checkered wood grips with gold medallions add a refined period-correct aesthetic that complements the royal blue finish for a pistol that is as visually distinguished as it is mechanically sound. At 2.25 lbs and 8.50 inches overall with a 9-round capacity in .38 Super the 1911 Classic delivers the full-size Government platform s balance sight radius and pointability in a caliber popular among competition shooters and collectors alike. Colt s nearly two centuries of firearms manufacturing heritage is reflected in every detail of this classically appointed 1911.
