Colt 1911 Combat Elite Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Simply put I have and have had everything out there where 1911's are concerned and Colt is the standard that all others are to judged by.. There will all ways be those that want to be different for the sake of being different. And of course every brand wi

I bought my Combat Elite (.45 ACP, I have no idea why the description describes the Delta 10mm, the Combat Elite is a .45) after the first of the year and have put a few hundred through it. It is dead accurate, not too heavy, shoots anything I feed it, an

Just went shooting with this awesome pistol today. It was more accurate and easier to shoot than my Smith & Wesson M&P 9, and my wife's Taurus 38 revolver. Even she thought so! It's a little more interesting to take apart, clean, and reassemble, but it wi

Several items about this Colt 1911; first of all I love this pistol. I just started breaking it in but after 120 rounds through 3 different magazine types and no problems what so ever! Ammo used was 230grain FMJ and 200 grain JHPs. No failures in feeding,

This is a great shooting 1911 out of the box. So far I have shot 100 rounds through it. No problems at all. This gun is easily capable of 3inch groups at 25 yards. It's more accurate than I am. Fit and finish are excellent. Trigger I would estimate is aro

First as far as Buds is concerned, great service & great price ($877!) for a thousand plus gun. This is the 3’rd gun I buy from them, and it has always been this way. The gun: gun arrived wrapped, and inside the box, with 2 mags. Of course it is “dirty” o

Transaction went quickly and smoothly as usual with Bud's. The pistol looks great and is very accurate right out of the box, ran both FMJ and hollow points through it with no issues. I docked it one star though because the mags don't fit easily into the m

I sold this pistol a month after I bought it. I have been a Colt guy for many years but this thing was sloppy! Slide to frame fit was horrible and one of the white dots on the rear sight fell of when I shot it. Not worth the extra money, I replaced it wit

Gun is great. Buds not so much.

Great place to order a gun. Prior to the sale all questions were answered promptly. I used a preferred FFL dealer with no issues and transfer cost was as noted on Bud's site. Timing on shipment and receipt was very quick. I highly recommend Bud's.

First, the Colt Combat Elite is nothing short of amazing. Have already run 100 rounds through it - pull the trigger and it goes bang - every time. Quality piece of art. Buds Gun Shop made it easy. Fair price, consistent delivery, and surprising follow up

Best combat pistol on the market for less than $1k. Super accurate out of the box. Durable, reliable, perfect fit. I've never had any issues with ammo types or function with a colt. Thanks Buds, I'll keep buying.

The Combat Elite arrived quickly and in great shape. While there are concerns about Colt's financial restructuring, this pistol shows great craftsmanship and attention to detail. I could go on and talk about the various parts and technical mumbo jumbo but

Lets start with Bud's service, first rate. Delivery in about a week from placing the order, everything as expected. I'll continue to use Bud's with a high degree of confidence. Now the gun, unlike some guns that you may get rid of after a few years, this

The Colt Combat Elite surely lived up to its billing, after all, it is a Colt. Very tight frame to slide fit and there is absolutely no rattles. Beautiful two tone finish with its matching wood grips. Dissasembly of the pistol is quite a pain as I've to p

I just received my Colt Combat Elite from Buds. It was shipped to L.L Beans in Maine (preferred FFL on Buds site). I can't say how pleased I am with the entire process dealing with Buds and LL Beans. I received a new Colt Combat Elite in absolutely pristi

Just picked mine up today. Shipped on Friday I got it on Monday. Its beautiful, not a scratch on it. Always a pleasure to do business with BUDS!

Okay this is my 3rd 1911 for 2011 bought 2 of them from Buds and once again Buds service and price were the best, the Colt is everything I expected it a real straight shooter and very tight, cleans up real easy, although it has a plastic mainspring assemb

The picture showing now "today" 1/1/12 was not the picture showing yesterday, and when I made my purchase a couple weeks ago! The picture availible now is an accurate portrait of pistol. Hopefully this will help potential customers in the future!

Picked up my "unobtainable anywhere else" Colt Combat Elite at my FFL (halfway across the country from Buds) within just a couple of days of ordering and in plenty of time for Christmas. Thanks Buds for making that possible. I shopped around ALOT before c

This colt is the real deal. The combat elite is one bad pistol. Extremely high quality and an absolutely beautiful gun! This gun has a feel that only colts can have, AWESOME! A very accurate and solid pistol. I was looking for this pistol for quite some t

My first gun from Bud’s but I would buy from them again in the future. Painless transaction and they shipped it the day after I ordered. I was hoping this would be the latest production run with the hump on the grip safety and it was. I’m a bit of a 1911

The gun is excellent. Looks awesome, feels good and solid, and shoots great. This is my second gun from Bud's - both are from Colt. This gun took a little longer to get here than the first, but I wasn't surprised since I ordered right before the Thanksgiv

Purchased this weapon at the Lexington store and got a great deal. Excellent weapon, point of aim is point of impact right out of the box. Well balanced and falls right back on target after recoil. Good tight shot groups.

Another great deal from Bud's (I paid $862). Received it a few days after placing the order. On day one, I put about 200 rounds through it, no malfunctions and shoots tight groups. It's what you would ecpect in a Colt 1911 with great features.
