The Auto-Ordnance 1911A1 GI Pistol in 9mm with wood grips (Auto-Ordnance part no. 1911BKO9W) brings the GI-spec 1911 to 9mm with a full five-inch barrel. Auto-Ordnance builds the 1911A1 series with a matte black frame, barrel and slide, and this version is fitted with checkered wood grips with the U.S. logo. A 9mm 1911 gives a flatter-recoiling way to shoot the platform, and its nine-round magazine carries more than the 7-round .45 ACP versions. It fits range days, informal competition and owners who want a steel GI-style pistol.
