The Auto-Ordnance 1911A1 9mm Pistol takes the GI-spec 1911 and chambers it in 9mm instead of .45 ACP (brand part no. Z1911BKO9W). The frame, barrel and slide carry a matte black finish, and the carbon steel slide, sear and disconnector are heat treated for durability over many thousands of rounds. Checkered wood grips with a U.S. logo replace the brown plastic panels found on the base 1911A1, and the low-profile blade front and drift-adjustable rear sights keep the profile period-correct. One 9-round magazine ships with the pistol, which suits a range shooter who wants 1911 handling with cheaper ammunition.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm, which gives a 1911 lighter recoil and lower ammunition cost than .45 ACP.
• Barrel length is 5 inches, the original full-size 1911 length.
• Magazine capacity is 9 rounds, and one magazine is included.
• The finish is matte black on the frame, barrel and slide, a non-reflective GI-style coating.
• Safety features are a thumb safety, grip safety and firing pin block, the traditional 1911 system.
• The sights are a blade front with a rear drift adjustable for windage, a low-profile setup that matches the GI pattern.
• The grips are checkered wood with a U.S. logo, a step up from the standard plastic panels.
