Colt’s Manufacturing Company is launching two new guns, the Colt Optics-Ready 1911 Competition pistols.

The Colt Optics-Ready 1911 Competition pistols are available in both 9mm and .45 ACP and are built to deliver the performance required for high-level competition. Both feature Colt’s optic-plate system and are equipped with features designed to enhance speed, accuracy and provide enhanced customization.

“We are excited to announce the launch of the Optics-Ready 1911 Competition pistols from Colt,” said Josh Dorsey, president of Colt. “This new line represents the perfect fusion of Colt’s legacy of excellence and the cutting-edge technology competitive shooters demand. With advanced optics compatibility, enhanced ergonomics and the legendary performance Colt is known for, we’re confident these pistols will give shooters the edge they need to stay ahead in the competition.”

The pistols feature the Colt Optics Ready Slide, a stainless-steel slide featuring a black-nitride cover plate with a fixed, serrated rear sight in a Glock dovetail. The updated Series 70 firing system provides consistent performance with every shot, while the enhanced ergonomics keep the pistol low in the hand for increased control and optimal handling during high-speed engagements.
