Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this RARE semi-automatic pistol today for auction; this is the Colt CUSTOM SHOP Special Combat Government!
The Colt Custom Shop Special Combat Government 01070RGZ is an exceptionally scarce variant within Colt’s high-end Custom Shop lineup, with only 130 examples produced, placing it firmly in the realm of limited-production collector pieces. Unlike standard production 1911s, Special Combat Government models were built in small batches with hand-fitted components, premium finishes, and performance-driven enhancements, making each configuration highly specialized. The 01070RGZ designation reflects one of these short-run builds, and with such a low total production number, surviving examples—especially those in high condition or complete packages—are seldom encountered on the open market, making this a highly desirable piece for advanced Colt collectors.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Custom Shop Special Combat Government 01070RGZ represents the upper echelon of Colt’s modern 1911 production, drawing direct inspiration from the combat-proven M45A1 CQB platform while elevating it through Custom Shop craftsmanship. Built with serious end-user performance in mind, this model incorporates an integrated M1913 Picatinny rail, allowing for the attachment of weapon lights or lasers, making it equally suited for duty or defensive applications. Unlike standard production pistols, each example benefits from extensive hand-fitting, including a fitted National Match barrel and precision-machined components that ensure both accuracy and reliability. Internally, this pistol reflects a commitment to traditional gunsmithing standards rarely seen in modern production firearms. The use of all-tooled steel internals—eschewing Metal Injection Molding (MIM) parts—demonstrates a focus on durability and long-term performance. Components such as the bar stock magazine catch, along with a tuned sear and disconnector, contribute to a refined and consistent action. The front strap features Pete Single-style 20 LPI checkering, providing a secure and aggressive grip surface while maintaining the clean, professional aesthetic expected from a Custom Shop build. Further enhancing its shootability, the pistol is equipped with a Novak front night sight with a tritium insert, paired with a blacked-out rear sight for rapid sight acquisition in varying lighting conditions. The trigger is expertly tuned to a crisp 4 to 4.5-pound pull, offering a balance between precision and practical use. Originally shipped with VZ Rosewood grips, the overall package reflects both form and function, combining modern tactical features with classic Colt refinement. When paired with its limited production of just 130 units, this example stands as a highly desirable and scarce offering within the Colt Custom Shop lineage.
