Colt ~ Combat Commander ~ .45 Auto

Description:
In very good condition, this 1976 Colt Combat Commander in .45 ACP is a quintessential all-steel 1911-style pistol known for its durability and more compact profile compared to the full-size Government Model. Key Specifications (1976 Production) Frame Material: Carbon steel (distinct from the aluminum-framed "Lightweight Commander"). Barrel Length: 4.25 inches. Caliber: .45 ACP (also produced in 9mm and .38 Super during this era). Finishes: Most commonly available in blued or a rare satin nickel (often called "E-Nickel") finish. Grips: Checkered walnut featuring silver or gold Colt medallions. Sights: Fixed low-profile combat sights. Action: Single-action semi-automatic with a Series 70 firing system (lacks the firing pin safety found in later Series 80 models). Historical Context Introduced in 1970, the "Combat Commander" was the steel-framed version of the original 1950 Commander. The extra weight of the steel frame—approximately 33–36 oz—helps absorb recoil more effectively than its lightweight alloy counterpart, making it a favorite for both shooters and collectors. .45 Auto
