The Auto-Ordnance 1911A1 Commander pistol in .45 ACP with a matte black finish (brand part no. 1911BKOWC) shortens the classic GI-spec 1911A1 to a 4.25-inch Commander-length barrel for a more compact carry option, finished with wood grips bearing the U.S. logo. Auto-Ordnance machines the carbon steel slide, sear, and disconnector from solid bar stock and heat-treats them for durability over thousands of rounds, and the pistol is 100% made in the USA. Low-profile sights feature a blade front and a rear drift-adjustable for windage, and the pistol ships with one 7-round magazine. Among Commander-length semi-auto handguns, this 1911A1 configuration favors shooters who want classic styling in a more carry-friendly size.
