Auto-Ordnance Tanker 1911 .45 ACP
The phrase "Built like a tank" has long been synonymous with durability and strength, qualities that are embodied by the iconic 1911 pistol. Auto-Ordnance pays homage to this legacy with the Tanker 1911, a firearm dedicated to the valor of American soldiers who fought in steel behemoths like the M4 Sherman Tank during World War II.
This commemorative piece is more than just a firearm; it's a tribute wrapped in history. The slide and frame are expertly Cerakoted in Army O.D. Green, reminiscent of military hardware forged for battle. Adding further historical character is the engraved white star—the symbol adorning Sherman Tanks—on both slide and frame.
The aesthetics continue with checkered wood grips featuring an engraved "U.S" logo, offering not only comfort but also an elegant nod to its heritage. This all-steel GI style 1911 sports a classic configuration: a robust 5-inch barrel chambered in .45 ACP ensures reliability and power at each pull of the trigger.
True to tradition, it features sights, triggers, grip safety, and controls patterned after those used by GIs—a testament to its authenticity as much as its functionality. Included with your purchase is one seven-round magazine ready to meet any challenge you set forth.
Owning an Auto-Ordnance Tanker 1911 allows modern shooters not merely to possess a weapon but rather partake in history itself—honoring those brave tank crews whose courage was instrumental in securing victory during WWII.
