The Iver Johnson 1911A1 Hawk pistol in .45 ACP with a ported slide and blued finish (brand part no. HAWKPORTED45) delivers a classic 1911 platform upgraded with modern competition touches for range and defensive shooting. Iver Johnson builds the pistol on a steel frame with wood grips, and the ported slide reduces muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots. The 4.25-inch barrel pairs with fixed sights, a beavertail grip safety, and an extended thumb safety, and a skeletonized hammer with a three-hole trigger rounds out the competition-inspired features. Among 1911-pattern semi-auto handguns, this 1911A1 Hawk configuration favors shooters who want classic styling with modern control.
