The Colt Combat Elite Defender condenses the 1911 into a serious deep-carry package: a 3-inch barreled Officer-size .45 ACP wearing a two-tone finish over stainless, upgraded G10 grips, and night sights for low-light work. The Combat Elite line represents Colt's enhanced production tier, with the fitting and features carry shooters ask for straight from the factory. There is something to be said for carrying a Colt, the company whose name is synonymous with the 1911, and the Defender packs that heritage into a pistol sized for everyday concealment.
