The Colt 1911 CQB .45 ACP 5" Government Model with Rail is a close-quarters powerhouse built on the proven 1911 platform. This special Colt Custom Shop edition combines defensive speed and reliability in a compact, rail-equipped package—ideal for shooters who want a fighting 1911 without compromise. With only 100 units produced, you're getting a limited-run pistol that reflects Colt's commitment to quality craftsmanship and practical performance.
Built for serious use, the CQB features a stainless steel frame finished in black nitride, which resists corrosion and cycles smoothly through thousands of rounds. The 5-inch Government-profile barrel uses a National Match fit for consistent accuracy, while dual recoil springs manage the .45 ACP's signature kick with authority. That rail system opens the door to modern tactical lighting and aiming devices—a must-have for defensive work or low-light scenarios.
Every detail speaks to Custom Shop attention: the trigger and grip safety are hand-fitted for a crisp, predictable break; the front strap and mainspring house sport 25 lpi checkering that keeps your grip secure under stress. G10 grips in Black Cherry provide aggressive texture and proven durability. The beveled magazine well makes reloads faster and smoother. Novak night sights lead your aim in dim conditions, and the custom roll marks celebrating the Combat designation mark this as something special.
At eight rounds of .45 ACP, capacity is less important than reliability and stopping power in the defensive mindset. This is a pistol for shooters who understand the 1911's legacy and demand modern capability without abandoning the proven design that changed combat forever.
