The Rock Island Rock Standard FS pistol in 9mm with a 5-inch barrel and black parkerized finish (brand part no. 51632) is a 1911-pattern pistol built in the traditional 70-series design with next-level upgrades, machined from 4140 ordnance steel and hand-fitted to strict tolerances. Armscor/Rock Island Armory supports the button-rifled barrel with a full-length guide rod, and a low-profile angled rear sight pairs with a skeletonized hammer and trigger featuring an adjustable over-travel stop. An ambidextrous safety, beavertail frame, and checkered rubber grips round out the package, with a crisp 4-to-6-pound factory trigger out of the box. Among 1911-pattern semi-auto handguns, this Rock Standard FS configuration favors shooters who want a full-featured 1911 at an accessible price.
