Up top, the slide features a red fiber-optic front sight dovetailed into the slide. The sample gun has a nicely executed shiny blue finish on the sides of the steel frame and slide, while the rounded surfaces on the top of the slide, bottom of the frame and front strap are matte blue. The guns are available in stainless steel or a blued finish.Ĭolt sent a blued 1911 Government Model Competition, without the firing pin safety, chambered in. That has changed, and now shooters who want the original 1911 firing system can get it in the Competition 1911 chambered in. The original firing system without the passive firing pin block, and called by Colt the Series 70 system, was not available in the Colt Competition Pistol line until recently. The guns are available in stainless steel or a blued finish. Shooters who want the original 1911 firing system can get it in the Competition 1911 chambered in. Some shooters have complained that this Series 80 system ruins the fine trigger pull of the 1911. This allows the firing pin to move all the way forward and hit the primer. To work, pulling the trigger to the rear must move a mechanical linkage, a lever in this case, so it presses on a plunger to disengage the passive firing pin block. Many other modern firearms feature a similar system. This change was meant to prevent a potential unintentional discharge if the gun was dropped and inertia drove the firing pin forward to strike the primer. The Series 80 system introduced a passive safety to block the forward motion of the firing pin so it could not strike the primer unless the trigger was pulled. Many years ago, in an effort to make the 1911 as safe to carry as possible, Colt designed the Series 80 firing system and used it in the Colt Competition line. A nice feature of the 1911 Competition Pistol is it can easily serve as a self defense handgun for everyday carry, making it a versatile choice for shooters interested in self protection as well as competition. The Colt Competition Pistol line was developed specifically so competitors could buy an off-the-shelf gun and take it to a match without having to make any modifications. military and has built them for combat as well as competition, improving them along the way. Colt has been making 1911s since the gun was first adopted by the U.S.
