Detailed Review

The Colt XSE Combat Elite is a versatile 1911-style pistol designed for law enforcement, military, and civilian use. It has received rave reviews from gun enthusiasts and professionals alike for its reliability, accuracy, and rugged construction.

The XSE Combat Elite is built on a full-size stainless steel frame and features a forged stainless steel slide with a blackened finish. It has a traditional 5-inch barrel length and weighs in at 36 ounces unloaded, making it comfortable to shoot for extended periods of time. The front and rear slide serrations provide a no-slip grip for easy slide manipulation.

One of the standout features of the XSE Combat Elite is its dual recoil spring system. This innovative design reduces recoil, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate. The XSE also features an extended thumb safety for easy access and an adjustable rear sight for precision shooting. The front sight is a low-profile combat sight that won't snag on clothing or other gear.

The XSE Combat Elite's trigger is single-action only with a pull weight of around 5 pounds. The trigger is crisp and clean, allowing for pinpoint accuracy. The XSE also features a beavertail grip safety that ensures safe and secure handling.

The XSE Combat Elite comes with checkered hardwood grips featuring the Colt logo. The checkering provides a solid grip, even in wet or slippery conditions. The XSE also features a skeletonized hammer and aluminum trigger, which add to the overall aesthetic appeal of the gun.

The XSE Combat Elite comes with two 8-round magazines, an owner's manual, and a lockable hard case. It is backed by Colt's legendary quality and reliability, making it a wise investment for anyone looking for a top-of-the-line 1911-style pistol.

If you're looking for a pistol that combines classic styling with modern technology and performance, the Colt XSE Combat Elite is an excellent choice. Its rugged construction, precise ergonomics, and advanced features make it a top contender in the 1911 market.

My local gun shop received my new gun within 7 days. The condition of the gun was excellent! No marks or scratches. After a good cleaning and lube, it function checks perfect. I have yet to shoot it, but I am sure it will perform flawlessly. Just like a C

Typical Colt quality. Typical Colt accuracy. Typical Bud's low price and delivery as promised. Bud's has never let me down and I bought for weapons from buds in the last year-and-a-half.

I was excited for the shipping as this is my first 1911 but when I got it there were many little scraps and blemishes all over it and for the price I would have expected a little better care than that. Not pleased with the product at first glance.

I bought this pistol a while ago, putting it on layaway when Bud's offered it at a clearance price. Having just gotten it out to the range, I'm very glad I bought it. I'm an old hand with the 1911, having owned dozens of them over the years. I tend to be

When I picked up the gun at my FFL, it was very dry. Fit and finish however, were excellent. During disassembly to clean and lube, I noticed that the mainspring housing is plastic. I know Colt needs to save $$, but putting plastic on a 1911 just isn't rig
