Colt’s Manufacturing worked with US Special Forces Trainers to design and build the Colt Combat Unit (CCU) Series of 1911 pistols. The tactical expertise of the trainers was vital in developing the CCU pistols, which are equipped to handle and shoot with the highest levels of control, accuracy and reliability. The Colt Combat Unit (CCU) Government is a full-size 1911-style pistol chambered in .45 ACP with a 5-inch National Match stainless steel barrel.
It pairs a matte black DLC-coated steel frame and serrated slide with checkered G10 grips for a durable, consistent interface. All Colt Combat Unit models feature ambidextrous, extended thumb safeties, front and rear angled slide serrations and extended magwells to support quick reloads. Novak front and rear night sights provide a clear sight picture, while the Series 80 firing system and extended magwell are present to support controlled, repeatable operation.
Colt’s Series 80 firing system and National Match Barrel ensure safe and precise shooting, while the Colt Dual Spring Recoil System minimizes felt recoil. The CCU Government comes with one 8-round magazine, making it an excellent choice for serious shooters and professionals who demand precision, durability, and proven performance from their carry or duty platform.
