The Auto-Ordnance 1911A1 GI pistol in .45 ACP with checkered wood grips (brand part no. 1911BKOWMA) recreates the classic GI-spec 1911 with a matte black finished frame, barrel, and slide built 100% in the USA. Auto-Ordnance machines the carbon steel slide, sear, and disconnector from solid bar stock and heat treats them for durability over many thousands of rounds, while low-profile sights pair a blade front with a rear drift-adjustable for windage. A thumb safety, grip safety, and firing pin block back up the classic single-action trigger, and the pistol ships with a one-year warranty. Among GI-spec semi-auto handguns, this 1911A1 configuration favors shooters who want an authentic, no-frills military-pattern 1911.
