The GLFA 1911 pistol in .45 ACP with a black slide and black cherry-finished frame (brand part no. GL1911-45FSSCHY) is an American-made, full-size 1911 finished with a distinctive red-toned Cerakote treatment on a stainless steel frame. Great Lakes builds the pistol with a 5-inch barrel under a 416 stainless steel slide with an RMSc optics cut, and an ambidextrous safety pairs with a beavertail grip safety and skeletonized hammer for smooth 1911 operation. A Picatinny frame rail, adjustable trigger, and fiber optic sights round out the feature set, with two 8-round magazines included. Among optic-ready 1911-pattern semi-auto handguns, this GLFA configuration favors shooters who want a red-dot-ready 1911 with a bold color finish.
