The Colt M1991A1 Compact delivers the classic 1911 design in a more carry-friendly package. Built on Colt’s proven Government Model lineage, the Compact variant offers the same single-action trigger, slim profile, and all-steel construction that made the 1911 famous, while reducing overall size for easier concealed carry and everyday use.
This example features the matte blue finish, factory Colt grips with pony medallions, and fixed combat-style sights. The pistol presents well overall and retains the timeless styling that appeals to both Colt enthusiasts and shooters looking for a dependable compact 1911 chambered in .45 ACP.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
