Design and Heritage

The COLT ALL AMERICAN 2000 is a polymer-framed service pistol produced between 1991–1993, designed by Reed Knight as Colt’s bid for modern service-sidearms. The example offered (SN: PF05581, C20893) is a 1992 build with a 4″ barrel and chambered in 9mm — a configuration that balances sight radius and concealability. Colt’s move into polymer frames with this model marked a notable shift for a company long known for steel-frame handguns.

Frame and Ergonomics

Polymer construction reduced weight and allowed for aggressive texturing and finger grooves typical of early 1990s tactical designs. The 4″ barrel maintains controllable recoil for regular 9mm loads while providing a longer sight radius than compact alternatives, improving practical accuracy at common defensive distances.

Performance and Practical Use

Chambered in 9mm, this pistol benefits from widely available ammunition, manageable recoil, and effective terminal performance with modern defensive loads. For range drills, the 4″ barrel and service-length sight picture support accurate shot placement. As a collector’s defensive option, the included case and extra magazine increase readiness and storage safety.

Price for this specific, excellent-condition example is listed at $899.99, reflecting its limited production run and the inclusion of original accessories. View product details and pricing on our shop page: View product details

Collector Notes and Operator Considerations

Because the model was only made 1991–93, availability is limited. The specific serial PF05581 confirms production timing, and the excellent condition plus original case and extra magazine make this specimen attractive to both collectors and shooters who want a functional museum-piece. As a Semi Auto category pistol from Colt, it represents a distinct chapter in the company’s evolution.
