COLT 1911 COMBAT COMMANDER Satin Nickel 1972 .45 ACP

Description:
Guns Listing ID: 598146



This RARE 1972 Colt Combat Commander Series 70 .45 ACP is a steel-frame, pre-Series 80 1911 finished at the factory in RARE desirable Satin Nickel. Compact in size with a 4.25-inch barrel, it pairs classic Colt lines with the reduced slide stroke of the Commander platform. The pistol remains in very good condition and comes with one 7-round magazine and a soft pistol case.

Condition
Overall Condition: Very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use.

Bore Condition: Excellent – Clean finish, little signs of wear.

Bore Rifling: Excellent – Sharp lands and grooves.

Built on Colt’s compact Combat Commander platform, this pistol retains the Series 70 firing system without the later Series 80 firing-pin safety. The steel frame and slide provide the familiar heft and balance of a full-size Government Model while shaving overall length for easier carry.

The RARE factory Satin Nickel finish offers both corrosion resistance and a distinctive appearance. Paired with walnut grips bearing gold Colt medallions, the gun presents strongly from every angle.

Features include a rowel hammer, short serrated trigger, and single-side thumb safety—hallmarks of period Colt 1911s.

Fixed iron sights consist of a ramped front blade and drift-dovetail square-notch rear.

Serial number 70SC18834 confirms 1972 production, aligning with Colt’s early-1970s Combat Commander timeline and ad‚s desirable provenance for collectors seeking a well-preserved Series 70 example.
