Description
Let’s be honest, there are 1911s, and then there’s this. The Colt 1911 TALO Dragon Edition isn’t just another dressed-up variant. It’s fire and legend and craftsmanship all rolled into one impossibly striking pistol. Only 400 were ever made, and each one feels like it was built to remind people why Colt’s name still carries weight after more than a century.
What you notice first, and there’s no getting around it, is the dragon. Twenty-four karats of gold coiled across a deep-blued slide, every scale engraved so crisply it almost looks alive. It doesn’t just sit there; it moves with the light. There’s power in it. Grace, too. The kind of design that walks the line between myth and mechanics.
But underneath that artwork? It’s still pure 1911, the same balance, the same confidence in your hand. The fit is tight, the action smooth, the trigger exactly what you’d expect from a Colt. Those custom wood grips echo the dragon motif, carved just deeply enough to catch your fingertips and remind you this isn’t only for display, it’s still a shooter if you want it to be.
That said, most won’t. This is the kind of piece you admire under good light with a quiet drink nearby. A story piece. The gold. The history. The sheer audacity of it. It’s the intersection of old-world American craftsmanship and artistic imagination, and that’s not something you see every day.
Owning one of the 400 Colt TALO Dragon Editions isn’t just adding another pistol to your collection. It’s holding a myth made metal.
