Description

The Colt Defender delivers full-size .45 ACP performance in a compact carry package. This aluminum-framed pistol combines Colt's century of 1911 expertise with modern defensive features for serious personal protection needs.

What Makes This Different

The Defender features an aluminum alloy frame that reduces weight by 25% compared to steel-frame competitors while maintaining structural integrity. Colt's enhanced trigger system provides a crisp 4.5-pound break with minimal overtravel. The novak-style low-profile sights offer faster target acquisition than traditional GI sights, while the beveled magazine well ensures reliable reloads under stress.
