Whether you’re evaluating a range-ready full-size handgun or looking for a historically interesting piece for a safe/collection, precise condition and original accessories matter as much as the platform’s handling and ballistics.

Design, Condition, and Practical Features

This first-edition Colt is a full-size, 9mm semi-auto with a 4.5″ barrel length that favors a good sight radius and muzzle velocity compared to compact options. The alloy frame reduces overall carry weight while retaining solid ergonomics for controlled recoil in 9mm. Finish and grips are reported in excellent condition, which is important for both shootability and collector appeal. The included original box and paperwork plus the spare magazine are notable—those items often increase desirability and value.

Why the 9mm Matters

9mm remains the most widely available centerfire pistol cartridge worldwide. It offers lower recoil than larger calibers, excellent capacity trade-offs, and affordable practice ammo — making this Colt suitable for range work, defensive training, or display in a curated collection. The 4.5″ barrel helps maintain effective velocities for common defensive loads without the bulk of an overly long service pistol.

Price is set at $1,500.99, reflecting the combination of collectible status (first edition, 1992 manufacture) and very good physical condition. For buyers prioritizing genuine condition and provenance, that price aligns with market expectations for original-box examples. View product details and pricing
