The Rock Island 1911 GI Standard FS HC pistol in .45 ACP with a 5-inch barrel and parkerized finish (brand part no. 51453) is a faithful representation of the original US GI combat-issue 1911, built with exacting engineering standards. Armscor/Rock Island Armory machines the full-size steel frame with a double-stack magazine well for a 10-round capacity, and low-profile fixed sights keep the classic GI sight picture. The durable parkerized finish gives a tough, smooth, non-reflective surface, and checkered polymer grips support a secure hold. True to Rock Island’s 1911 line, this GI Standard ships with a crisp factory 4-to-6-pound trigger. Among 1911-pattern semi-auto handguns, this GI Standard FS HC configuration favors shooters who want an authentic GI-spec pistol at an accessible price.
