When selecting a sidearm for both personal defense and controlled range work, reliability and sighting options matter as much as ergonomics. The following review examines a Certified Used option that balances classic styling with practical features for service-style carry and precision target shooting.

ESSEX ARMS COLT SUPER AUTOMATIC

This Certified Used ESSEX ARMS COLT SUPER AUTOMATIC ships with one 9-round magazine, traditional wooden grips, and a Bo-Mar sight rail—features that appeal to shooters who want tactile control, clear sight acquisition, and a familiar service-pistol layout. Priced at $899.99, the Certified Used stamp indicates the pistol is in very good to excellent condition and includes a ‘no questions asked’ return policy, giving buyers extra confidence.

Key features and practical benefits

The included 9-round magazine makes this semi-auto platform suitable for everyday carry concepts where capacity and concealability are considerations. Wooden grips provide a stable, classic feel that many shooters prefer for follow-up shots, while the Bo-Mar sight rail supports elevated rear sights or aftermarket sighting solutions to improve sight picture and target acquisition at typical defensive ranges.

Fit, function, and use cases

Essex Arms has built a reputation for solid service-style pistols; this model reflects that by offering straightforward controls and a sighting platform that makes zeroing and consistent hits easier. Because model variations exist, caliber can vary—confirm the specific configuration on the product page before purchasing. For defensive use, focus on reliable magazines and practice drills that emphasize reloads and malfunction clearing. For the range, this pistol’s Bo-Mar rail and wood grips make it comfortable for longer sessions and precision work.

Maintenance and accessories

Keep a basic maintenance kit: bore brush, solvent, lubricant, and a soft cleaning rod. Consider a holster rated for the pistol’s size and retainment needs, plus spare magazines matched to the included 9-round unit. If you plan optic use, check compatibility with the Bo-Mar sight rail or consider classic low-profile iron sight setups.

For buyers seeking a Certified Used semi-auto with classic ergonomics, practical sighting options, and a reassuring return policy, the ESSEX ARMS COLT SUPER AUTOMATIC is a strong candidate.
