Savage 1911 Government .45 ACP 5" Black/Silver

In the world of firearms, few designs have endured the test of time like John Moses Browning's iconic 1911. Originally crafted to surpass its contemporaries and secure its place as the US Military's M1911, this handgun has been a symbol of reliability and precision for over a century. Now, Savage Arms revitalizes this legendary pistol with their own rendition: the Savage 1911.

The Savage 1911 is constructed from robust stainless steel, ensuring durability in even the harshest conditions. Its forged frame and slide provide a solid foundation for performance under duress. At its core lies a meticulously machined 5-inch stainless steel barrel featuring an 11-degree target crown—an enhancement that promises superior accuracy shot after shot.

This model incorporates modern advancements while respecting traditional design elements. The dual recoil spring system employs a GI-style guide rod and barrel bushing to manage recoil effectively without compromising on handling or control. A lowered and flared ejection port facilitates smooth live round ejection, enhancing operational efficiency.

Attention to detail extends throughout this firearm; from the nitride-coated titanium firing pin offering corrosion resistance to fully machined tool steel components such as sear and disconnector that promise longevity in service life. The inclusion of Novak Lo-Mount adjustable tritium bar rear sight coupled with a tritium Mega Dot Glow Dome Yellow front sight ensures precise target acquisition in varied lighting conditions.

An ambidextrous slide lock safety caters to both left-handed and right-handed shooters, while VZ G10 grips offer comfortable ergonomics alongside improved weapon retention during use.

Savage has successfully married tradition with innovation in their version of an all-time classic—the result is not merely homage but an evolution built for hard use today just as it was over one hundred years ago when first conceived by Browning himself.
