Colt 1911 Combat Commander .45 ACP Semi-Auto Pistol w/ Original Box

Up for auction is a highly desirable Colt Combat Commander semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP, complete with its original factory box. This classic 1911-style handgun is part of Colt’s legendary Commander line, introduced in 1950 as a lighter, more compact version of the full-size Government Model. 

The Combat Commander variant, introduced in the 1970s, features an all-steel frame and slide, offering enhanced durability and recoil control compared to the earlier lightweight alloy-framed versions. Built on the proven John Browning 1911 platform, it operates as a single-action, short recoil-operated pistol with a reputation for accuracy, reliability, and timeless design. 

With its 4.25-inch barrel, the Combat Commander strikes an ideal balance between the full-size 5" Government model and more compact carry pistols—making it a favorite among enthusiasts for both range use and carry.
