The Auto-Ordnance 1911A1 GI .45 ACP with wood grips is a service-pistol-style 1911 built to GI specifications (Auto-Ordnance part no. 1911BKOW). The frame, barrel and slide are finished in matte black, and the checkered wood grips carry the U.S. logo for a classic military look. A five-inch barrel, low-profile blade front sight and drift-adjustable rear sight keep the profile simple, and one seven-round magazine is included. The carbon steel slide, sear and disconnector are heat treated for durability over many thousands of rounds. Auto-Ordnance builds it for range days, collectors and anyone who likes the original 1911 feel.
