COLT M45A1 CQBP MARINE
Product Information & Specs
Seller Description For This Firearm
For sale is a Colt M45A1 Close Quarter Battle Pistol chambered in .45 ACP. This legendary handgun is in very good condition with minimal handling marks. This Marine-marked example is one of the most sought-after modern Colt 1911 platforms in existence. Inspired by the USMC’s Close Quarters Battle Pistol program, the M45A1 features the iconic desert tan Cerakote finish, dual recoil spring system, Novak / Trijicon night sights, Picatinny rail, and factory G10 grips. Early Marine-marked pistols are especially collectible due to their limited production and direct connection to the U.S. Marine Corps CQBP contract.
This pistol appears to have been fired, but very little, and includes the original factory Pelican hard case, manual, powder burnt target, NRA pamphlet, and accessories. The slide bears the desirable “COLT USMC” markings with matching military-inspired roll marks and UID-style label. The 5-inch National Match barrel delivers the legendary reliability and accuracy expected from Colt’s combat-proven 1911 design.
A standout addition for collectors, Marines, 1911 enthusiasts, or anyone seeking one of Colt’s most iconic modern production pistols. Hard-to-find Marine-marked examples continue to rise in desirability among collectors.

Seller Q&A
WARNING
Why Buy from Guns.com?
PEACE OF MIND
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.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
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.
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
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.
