The Rock Island Armory 1911 Rock Ultra pistol in 9mm with a 5-inch barrel (brand part no. 51623) is a full-size single-action 1911 built on a Series 70-type firing system with a Parkerized finish. Armscor/Rock Island Armory equips the pistol with VZ grips, a combat hammer, and a skeletonized trigger, and an ambidextrous thumb safety supports both right- and left-handed shooters. A fiber optic front sight paired with a tactical-style adjustable rear sight aids fast, accurate aiming, and the high-sweep grip improves control under recoil. At 2.49 pounds unloaded, the full-size steel frame delivers a substantial, controllable platform. Among full-size semi-auto handguns, this 1911 Rock Ultra configuration favors 9mm shooters who want classic 1911 ergonomics.
