Rock Island Armory M1911A1 FS Standard Series 70 9mm, Full-Size, Parkerized, Fiber-Optic Sights, Custom G10 Grips
This full-size Rock Island Armory M1911A1 FS stands out for pairing classic Series 70 internals with the soft-shooting 9mm Luger cartridge. Built on an all-steel Government frame, it features a matte Parkerized finish, upgraded orange/black G10 laminate grips, and bright fiber-optic sights—making it ready for range work or everyday carry. With its 5-inch barrel, skeletonized fire-controls, and 8-round single-stack magazine, this is a complete 1911 package that is not an Ultra model and retains traditional lines while adding modern shootability.

The 5-inch barrel and full-length guide rod maintain the classic Government-length sight radius, providing predictable recoil control in 9mm. Series 70 architecture means no firing-pin block, giving the single-action trigger a clean break. A skeletonized trigger with an adjustable over-travel stop complements the light hammer for quick, consistent follow-up shots.
Upgraded orange/black G10 laminate grips add a firm, moisture-resistant purchase without altering the pistol’s dimensions. Frontstrap serrations and a checkered mainspring housing further enhance grip stability. An extended left-side thumb safety and beavertail grip safety ensure positive, ambidextrous-friendly handling.
Bright fiber-optic sights—red up front and green two-dot at the rear—stand out against almost any background, aiding rapid target acquisition. Rear cocking serrations on the slide provide a sure grasp for press checks or administrative handling.
The Parkerized 4140 ordnance-steel slide and frame are marked “M1911 A1 – FS” and import-stamped “AP INTL–PAHRUMP NV / ACP PHILIPPINES,” confirming Armscor’s support network and the pistol’s all-steel construction. Capacity is 8+1 rounds using the supplied single-stack magazine.
