Owners of the Colt Competition in .45 ACP consistently cite trigger feel as a highlight. The 5-inch barrel and standard 1911 ergonomics suit shooters who prefer the classic platform, and the Titanium Blue finish on stainless steel is a distinctive look that draws attention at the range.

The blem designation is the main friction point in buyer discussions. Most who receive these report that the cosmetic issues are genuinely minor, but buyers who prioritize a pristine finish should factor that in. For those buying strictly to shoot, the savings tend to outweigh any aesthetic concerns.

The Competition in .45 ACP sits in a crowded market. The Colt name carries weight for some buyers, while others feel the same money buys more customization elsewhere. The 8-round capacity in .45 ACP is standard for the platform and rarely draws complaint.
