Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The USA Classic 1911 features a unique serial number prefix “USA”. The goal of their partnership with Colt and Pete is to raise money for the USA Shooting Team. The delay of the Olympic games this year makes the need to finance our USA team shooters even more important. The team must raise funds privately to compete against countries whose shooters are completely publicly sponsored. It is their belief that when a USA team member mounts the Olympic podium, it shines a very favorable light on the entire shooting sports community.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
It is hard to improve the Colt 1911 Classic .45. The Classic is a full size carbon blue government model featuring the Series 70 firing system, national match barrel, staked on front sights, and spurred hammer. Chambered in .45 ACP this firearm is a pure and simple 1911. Our changes are subtle and highly custom. The slide flats are polished to royal blue. The custom roll-mark is simple and to the point. The front strap is precision checked to 25 lines per inch. The mag well is fully beveled. The barrel features a precision recessed muzzle crown.
The top of the slide is custom serrated 30 lines per inch in an arrowhead pattern. The slide stop top edge is beveled. Custom enhancements like there are very expensive in the aftermarket. Master Metalsmith Pete Single designed and executed these custom features as his contribution to the project. The USA 1911 is finished with unique and classic Colt wood grips. The edition will be limited due to current production restrictions.
Pete has been an unheralded force behind many of the top 1911 shooters and gunsmiths in the country for more than 25 years. Pete’s additional features include the precision 25 lines per inch checkering on the contours of the front strap of the pistol. His checkering is felt immediately and is remarkable when viewed up close. The front stap is blended into what Colt calls a “High Enhanced” trigger guard cut. Colt’s Custom shop charges $345 for those front strap features alone. Pete then does a complete mag well bevel.
