The Standard Manufacturing 1911 pistol in .45 ACP with a deep Royal Blue finish and 5-inch barrel (brand part no. 1911B) represents the pinnacle of the gunmaking art, requiring many labor-intensive hours of hand polishing and stoning by expert craftsmen to achieve a finish rarely seen on modern production guns. Standard Manufacturing CNC machines the 4140 carbon steel frame and slide from forgings, and the stainless steel match-grade barrel pairs with a match bushing for tight tolerances. An upswept beavertail grip safety, extended magazine release, and checkered front strap support a secure grip, and Rosewood double-diamond stocks complete the classic look. Among premium semi-auto handguns, this Royal Blue 1911 configuration favors collectors who want a finish comparable to the finest guns manufactured decades ago.
