The GLFA 1911 pistol in .45 ACP with a blue titanium-finished Cerakote steel frame and black Cerakote 416 stainless slide, at a compact 4.25-inch barrel length (brand part no. GL1911-45CSSBLU), is a made-in-the-USA 1911-pattern pistol built with an RMS optics cut for direct red dot mounting. Great Lakes pairs an adjustable trigger with a skeletonized hammer and a beavertail grip safety, and a Picatinny frame rail supports lights and lasers. Fiber optic sights back up the optic-ready slide, and two 8-round magazines ship with the pistol. Among compact, optics-ready 1911-pattern semi-auto handguns, this GLFA 1911 blue titanium configuration favors carriers who want a striking finish in a shorter, more concealable barrel length.
