Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Special Combat Government stands as one of the finest modern 1911 variants ever produced by Colt’s venerable Custom Shop. Engineered to bridge the gap between classic service sidearms and competition-ready match pistols, the Special Combat Government was hand-built in limited production batches by Colt's master gunsmiths. Unlike standard production line models, each Custom Shop pistol was individually assembled, hand-fitted, and hand-tuned to achieve ultra-tight frame-to-slide lockup, exceptional reliability, and sub-inch target accuracy right out of the custom box. Model O1980CM is particularly sought after by collectors for its distinctive, eye-catching finish and premium factory feature set. Built on a full-size Government length frame with a 5-inch national match barrel, this configuration features a striking two-tone aesthetic combining a dark blued slide over a E-Nickel Satin Frame. Outfitted with target-grade enhancements from the factory—including an adjustable Bo-Mar rear sight paired with a fixed blade front sight, an extended ambidextrous thumb safety, an oversized beavertail grip safety, and custom double-diamond wood grips—the O1980CM represents the pinnacle of Colt Custom Shop craftsmanship. For serious Colt collectors and competitive shooters, the Special Combat Government O1980CM holds a highly prized position on the secondary market. Because production numbers were strictly limited by the capacity of Colt's Custom Shop, these pistols are far scarcer than standard Colt 1911 models. Combining match-grade performance, iconic Colt roll-stampings, and modern custom-shop ergonomics, this pistol remains a standout addition to any high-grade 1911 collection or fine arms vault.
