This full-size 1911 is machined from stainless steel and finished in brushed and matte surfaces for a clean, durable look. The slide is factory ported with three oval ports per side plus top muzzle ports, reducing muzzle rise without aftermarket modification.
A Briley spherical barrel bushing pairs with the 5-inch match, throated, precision-crowned barrel for consistent lock-up and enhanced accuracy. Lightening cuts in the slide further trim reciprocating mass, helping the tuned trigger deliver quick, predictable follow-up shots.
The pistol incorporates Performance Center hand-fitted parts: a three-hole aluminum trigger tuned to a crisp 3.5–4 lb break, a skeletonized Commander-style hammer, and 30 LPI checkering on both the front strap and mainspring housing for secure control.
Blue/grey layered G10 grips complement the stainless frame while providing a sure purchase in any condition. An extended, integrated magazine well speeds reloads, and ambidextrous thumb safeties plus a beavertail grip safety offer familiar 1911 ergonomics for right- or left-hand use.
