Description
For sale is a pristine Colt M45A1 Close Quarter Battle Pistol chambered in .45 ACP. This Marine-marked example is in Like New In Box (LNIB) condition and is one of the most sought-after modern Colt 1911 platforms ever produced. Inspired by the USMC’s Close Quarters Battle Pistol program, the M45A1 features the iconic desert tan Cerakote finish, dual recoil spring system, Novak night sights, Picatinny rail, and factory G10 grips. Early Marine-marked pistols are especially collectible due to their limited production and direct connection to the U.S. Marine Corps CQBP contract.
This pistol appears virtually unfired and includes the original factory box, paperwork, and accessories. The slide bears the desirable “COLT USMC” markings with matching military-inspired roll marks and UID-style label. Fit and finish are excellent, with only minimal handling wear if any. The 5-inch National Match barrel delivers the legendary reliability and accuracy expected from Colt’s combat-proven 1911 design.
A standout addition for collectors, Marines, 1911 enthusiasts, or anyone seeking one of Colt’s most iconic modern production pistols. Hard-to-find Marine-marked examples continue to rise in desirability among collectors.
