Description

This is the pistol that shaped the world.

The Colt Government Model 1911C in .45 ACP is a direct descendant of the sidearm carried into every major conflict of the 20th century. From the trenches of WWI to the jungles of Vietnam, it earned a reputation as a rock-solid defender, a close-quarters problem-solver, and a deeply trusted tool in the hands of soldiers and citizens alike.

This full-size, blued steel classic is no modern polymer variant—it’s forged from American history. With its 5″ barrel, low-profile combat sights, seven-round magazine, and diamond-checkered wood grips, it remains both rugged and refined. The frame, slide, and barrel are all crafted from steel, giving this pistol the unmistakable weight and balance Colt enthusiasts demand.

Whether you carry it, collect it, or pass it down, the Colt 1911C remains a living legacy—reborn in every trigger press.

The Colt 1911 was designed by John Moses Browning and adopted by the U.S. military in 1911 as the standard-issue sidearm. It was engineered for reliability in the mud and grit of war, firing the hard-hitting .45 ACP round with fight-stopping power. The 1911C model remains true to that design—built by the company that started it all, still machined in America. This pistol is more than a weapon—it’s a heritage piece, a protector, and a symbol of American craftsmanship over a century strong.
