Overview Based on historical data for a 1981 production year, the Colt Combat Commander in .45 ACP is an all-steel, 1911-style pistol known for its 4.25-inch barrel and reduced size compared to the full-size Government model. In 1981, this model was generally part of the late Mark IV/Series 70 production run, often featuring a blued or satin nickel finish, or sometimes in a pre-Series 80 configuration.  Key Specifications (1981 Combat Commander .45 ACP): Manufacturer: Colt Model: Combat Commander (all-steel frame) Caliber: .45 ACP Year of Manufacture: 1981 (likely Pre-Series 80 / Series 70) Barrel Length: 4.25 inches Action: Single Action Semi-Auto Capacity: 7 or 8-round magazine (7 was standard in that era) Weight (Empty): Approx. 36 oz (All-steel version) Material: Carbon Steel (Frame & Slide) Finish: Blue or Satin Nickel Overall Length: Approx. 7.75 - 7.875 inches Sights: Standard low-profile front blade and rear notched sight (often dovetailed) Grips: Typically checkered wood with Colt medallions  Distinguishing Features (1981 Era): Frame: Solid steel, unlike the "Lightweight Commander," which used an aluminum alloy frame.
