The Colt Lightweight Commander O4840XE-OR combines classic 1911 craftsmanship with modern, optics-ready capability. Chambered in .45 ACP, this Commander-size pistol features a 4.25-inch stainless steel barrel, lightweight aluminum frame and an optic-ready carbon-steel slide. At only 29.4 ounces, it delivers the familiar handling and performance of a Colt 1911 without the weight of a traditional all-steel Government Model.
The matte-black finish is complemented by checkered Black Cherry G10 grips, giving the pistol a distinctive appearance and a secure gripping surface. Novak sights provide a practical sight picture when used without an optic, while the optics-ready slide allows the pistol to be configured for compatible reflex sights and mounting hardware.
An upswept beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard support a comfortable, high grip. Colt’s dual recoil-spring system helps manage recoil and extends recoil-spring service life. The Series 80 firing-pin safety, extended thumb safety and single-action trigger complete this modern interpretation of the legendary Colt Commander.
