The Colt Competition Government O1073CCP is a performance-focused 1911 chambered in the fast, flat-shooting .38 Super cartridge. Built around Colt’s full-size Government platform, it combines traditional single-action operation with competition-oriented features designed to support accuracy, control and faster follow-up shots.
A 5-inch National Match barrel provides the precision expected from Colt’s Competition series. The Novak adjustable rear sight and highly visible fiber-optic front sight deliver a clear sight picture for target shooting and competition use.
Its undercut trigger guard and upswept beavertail allow the shooter to obtain a higher grip for improved control. Checkered blue G10 grip panels provide a secure gripping surface while complementing the pistol’s traditional blued finish. Colt’s dual recoil-spring system helps manage recoil and is designed to provide an extended service life.
With its Series 70 firing system, crisp single-action trigger and 9+1-round capacity, the Colt Competition Government is a capable choice for competition, recreational target shooting and serious .38 Super enthusiasts.
