The Colt Mfg Lightweight Commander O4840XE-OR combines the proven 1911 platform with a lighter, more carry-friendly design. Chambered in .45 ACP, this single-action-only pistol offers the familiar controls, ergonomics, and performance expected from a Colt Commander while providing a shorter profile than a traditional Government Model. Its matte black anodized frame and optic-ready, serrated slide create a practical combination for concealed carry, range use, and personal defense applications.
The Lightweight Commander is equipped with Colt’s Dual Spring Recoil System, which is designed to support reliable cycling and help manage recoil during extended shooting sessions. An undercut trigger guard and upswept beavertail grip safety allow for a higher hand position, helping promote consistent control and comfortable handling. The 80 Series firing system adds an additional layer of passive safety to the pistol’s operating design.
Black Cherry G10 grips provide a secure, durable interface and add distinctive contrast to the matte black finish. The pistol includes firing pin, grip, and manual safety systems, giving users multiple safety features while preserving the traditional 1911 manual of arms. With its optic-ready slide, Commander-length configuration, and classic .45 ACP chambering, the Colt Mfg O4840XE-OR is a versatile 1911 pistol built for shooters who want a balance of carry convenience, handling comfort, and Colt heritage.
