The Colt Lightweight Night Commander combines the proven handling of the Commander-size 1911 with modern carry-oriented features. Chambered in .45 ACP, this pistol features a 4.25-inch barrel and lightweight aluminum-alloy frame for an effective balance of control, portability and reduced carry weight.
Its dark Cerakote-treated frame and black-finished slide give the Night Commander a discreet, durable appearance. Checkered black G10 grip panels provide a secure gripping surface, while the upswept beavertail and undercut trigger guard allow the shooter to establish a high, comfortable grip.
Genuine Novak tritium three-dot night sights provide a visible sight picture in bright or reduced-light conditions. The pistol also includes an extended thumb safety, three-hole trigger and eight-round single-stack magazine.
Weighing approximately 29.4 ounces, the Colt Lightweight Night Commander is well suited for concealed carry, personal protection, training and shooters who want the handling of a traditional Colt Commander without the weight of an all-steel Government Model.
