The Rock Island 1911 GI Standard pistol in parkerized finish (brand part no. 51421) is a faithful representation of the original US GI combat-issue 1911, chambered in .45 ACP and built to Armscor’s exacting engineering standards. Rock Island chambers the pistol with an 8-round capacity and a 5-inch barrel that balances weight for the accuracy and manageable recoil the original 1911 design is known for. Fixed, low-profile sights and a traditional smooth, slim design suit quick presentation from a holster, and the durable parkerized finish gives a tough, non-reflective surface. Smooth wood grips and a crisp factory 4- to 6-pound trigger complete the package. Among GI-pattern semi-auto handguns, this 1911 GI Standard configuration favors traditionalists who want an original-spec .45 ACP.
