West Hartford, Conn. — June 7, 2022 – Colt’s Manufacturing worked with US Special Forces Trainers to design and build the Colt Combat Unit (CCU) Series of 1911 pistols.

Available in CCU Government, Combat Unit Rail, and the Combat Unit CCO Commander models, all CCU Series 1911s feature matte black DLC coated stainless steel frames that are corrosion-resistant and EDC-friendly. Custom G10 grips and 25 LPI checkering provide steady traction all around, and an undercut trigger guard and upswept beavertail safety command proper hand placement for accuracy and recoil control.
CCU Government models sport five-inch barrels and ammunition capacities of 8+1 in 45 ACP and 9+1 in 9MM.
Combat Unit Rail models offer a handy Picatinny rail under the barrel for accessories. Ammunition capacities and barrel lengths are the same as the government models.
Combat Unit CCO pistols feature Commander length, 4.25-inch barrels, and ammunition capacities of 7+1 in 45 ACP and 9+1 in 9MM.
In addition to the grip safety, all Colt Combat Unit models feature ambidextrous, extended thumb safeties, front, and rear angled slide serrations and extended mag wells to support quick reloads. Novak’s front and rear sights quickly form an uncluttered sight picture. 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.
Colt accuracy, reliability, and toughness are the hallmarks of the Colt Combat Unit pistols, and they are ready for any situation, anytime, anywhere.
