The Colt Combat Target Model Series 80 was a specialized variant of Colt's M1911 pistol, produced exclusively in 1996 and 1997. Available in two finishes—Matte Blue (Model 08120E) and Matte Stainless (Model 08020E)—this model was designed to offer enhanced performance and aesthetics for target shooters and enthusiasts. Both versions featured a 5-inch barrel, adjustable sights, and a tuned action for improved accuracy. The pistols came equipped with two 8-round magazines and one-piece rubber grips adorned with silver Colt medallions, combining functionality with a classic design. The matte blue variant was introduced in 1997, following the release of the stainless model in 1996. These models were cataloged for only two years, making them relatively rare and collectible among firearm aficionados.

From an ergonomic and safety perspective, the Colt Combat Target Model Series 80 integrates Colt's Series 80 firing pin safety system, which prevents accidental discharge if the pistol is dropped. While some purists debate the impact of this system on trigger feel, it adds an extra layer of security without compromising the pistol's overall performance. The pistol's design emphasizes user comfort and control, featuring a high-cut trigger guard and a beveled magazine well for quick and efficient reloading. Weighing approximately 39 ounces, it provides a solid and stable shooting platform, suitable for both competitive shooting and tactical scenarios. Although production of the Combat Target Model was limited, with some variants produced for only a year, its blend of classic Colt craftsmanship and modern enhancements has made it a respected choice among enthusiasts and professionals alike.
