The Rock Island GI Standard MS 1911 is a testament to the enduring legacy of the original U.S. GI combat issue firearm, chambered in the classic .45 ACP. This pistol embodies precision engineering and historical authenticity, making it an ideal choice for both enthusiasts and professionals who appreciate time-honored design.
At its core, this weapon features a compact yet effective 4.2-inch barrel that strikes a balance between portability and accuracy—an essential characteristic for those requiring reliability on the move. The fixed low-profile sights are strategically designed for quick acquisition from holsters, ensuring you maintain readiness without sacrificing speed or dexterity.
Aesthetically, the Rock Island GI Standard does not disappoint with its durable black parkerized finish—a non-reflective surface that withstands wear while maintaining stealth under varying conditions. Complementing this robust exterior are smooth wood grips which enhance comfort during handling and firing sessions.
This model stays true to Rock Island's commitment to quality; it comes equipped with a crisp factory trigger pull ranging from four to six pounds straight out of the box. This ensures consistent performance shot after shot—whether at target practice or in critical scenarios.
The M1911-A1 configuration further enriches your shooting experience by offering an eight-round magazine capacity coupled with traditional G.I. blade front and slot rear black sights—all elements meticulously crafted to honor its storied past while meeting modern expectations.
