REMINGTON RAND COLT NATIONAL MATCH

Historical context and build specifics

Circa 1940s construction and serial number SN: 1939700 tell a clear story: this is a U.S. GI National Match pistol built on a Remington Rand frame with a Colt slide and adjustable sights. The 5″ barrel and match configuration were intended for precision, making this pistol stand apart from standard-issue service pistols of its era. The pistol retains approximately 95% of its factory finish, with only expected wear at the barrel bushing from disassembly and light wear on the plastic checkered grips.

Performance, cartridge, and accuracy

This example is chambered in .45 ACP with a 5″ barrel. The bore is described as shiny with strong rifling—exactly what you want for consistent groups and reliable feeding with hardcast or full-metal-jacket match loads. The .45 ACP remains a proven defensive cartridge with manageable recoil in a 5″ platform, offering solid terminal performance and controllable rapid-fire strings for trained operators.

Match sights and action

Adjustable sights on the Colt slide give you a clear advantage when dialing for different loads or distances. The action functions properly, indicating sound internals and a firearm that responds predictably under live-fire conditions. For a collector wanting a shooter-grade period National Match, this piece balances historical integrity and usability.

Condition and purchase considerations

Overall very good condition (PR66567) with the action functioning properly and original-style plastic checkered grips in very good shape. Listed price is $2750.99 — a price point consistent with collectible National Match pistols in high-preservation condition. For provenance and condition-focused buyers, serial SN: 1939700 and the mixed Remington Rand/Colt build are key selling points.
