GLFA 1911 Pistol, .45 ACP, 4.25-Inch, Bronze Frame

The GLFA 1911 pistol in .45 ACP with a black slide and bronze-finished frame (brand part no. GL1911-45CSSBRZ) is an American-made 1911 in a shorter 4.25-inch barrel length, finished with a distinctive bronze Cerakote treatment on a stainless steel frame. Great Lakes builds the pistol with a 416 stainless steel slide carrying an RMSc optics cut, and an ambidextrous safety pairs with a beavertail grip safety and skeletonized hammer for smooth 1911 operation. A Picatinny frame rail, adjustable trigger, and fiber optic sights round out the feature set, with two 8-round magazines included. Among compact optic-ready 1911-pattern semi-auto handguns, this GLFA configuration favors shooters who want a shorter-barrel, distinctively finished carry 1911.
