The Iver Johnson Golden Eagle pistol in .45 ACP with a polished gold finish and a ported slide (brand part no. GOLDENEAGLE) pairs a striking gold presentation with functional porting to help manage muzzle rise. Iver Johnson builds the pistol with a 5-inch barrel and a ported, serrated slide, and a beavertail grip safety paired with a thumb safety rounds out the controls. The 8+1 capacity keeps the pistol in step with traditional single-stack 1911 proportions. Among gold-finished 1911-pattern semi-auto handguns, this Golden Eagle configuration favors collectors who want a bold, statement-making finish.
