More than 100 years ago the Colt 1911 was chosen as the official sidearm for America’s Armed Forces. Today a Colt 1911 is once again proudly serving at the side of our country’s military. After a rigorous selection process the United States Marine Corps selected the Colt Rail Gun as their Close Quarters Battle Pistol. This marks the first time since the end of World War II that a Colt 1911 is being shipped to the United States Government.
To honor the brave men and women of this important staple of America’s military might the Colt Marine Pistol will be made available in limited quantities through the Colt Custom Shop. What makes the Marine Colt stand out is its Desert Tan Cerakoted Stainless Steel Receiver and Slide Novak® 3 Dot Night Sights and Flat Serrated Mainspring Housing with Lanyard Loop. The pistol also features an Enhanced Hammer Colt Tactical Ambidextrous Safety Lock and a 5” National Match® Barrel.
The Colt Custom Shop performs hand fitting of critical mating parts and each firearm is test fired by the Custom Shop and supplied with the actual test target.
