Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this STUNNING LIMITED EDITION semi-automatic pistol for a penny-start auction; this is the Colt Custom Shop MKIV Series 80 Ultimate Officer.
The Colt Ultimate Officers Model is distinguished by a carefully curated set of features and embellishments that blend collectibility with functional performance. Limited to 500 examples with serial numbers ranging from UOM001 through UOM500, each pistol is roll-marked with the “Ultimate Officers Model” designation on the slide and fitted with smooth rosewood grips bearing Serpentine Colt medallions. Practical enhancements such as a lowered and relieved ejection port, checkered flat mainspring housing, high-profile three-dot sights, a rounded serrated combat hammer, and a long trigger are complemented by a striking high-polish stainless and blued finish, creating a refined yet duty-capable limited-edition Colt.
According to the consigner, this example remains in NEW OLD STOCK condition, and we see no evidence to indicate otherwise!

Visually and mechanically, the Ultimate Officers Model distinguishes itself through refined details and premium finishes. A high-polish “Colt Ultimate” finish combining contrasting blued and stainless components highlights its limited-edition status, while the slide is roll-marked with the model name. Practical enhancements include a lowered and relieved ejection port for improved reliability, a checkered flat mainspring housing for control, a rounded serrated combat hammer, and a long trigger optimized for shooters with larger hands. High-profile fixed three-dot sights allow rapid sight acquisition, and smooth rosewood grips with Serpentine Colt medallions complete the presentation. Together, these features position the Colt Ultimate Officers Model .45 as a collectible yet functional expression of Colt’s enduring commitment to precision, performance, and classic 1911 design.
