Forged carbon-steel construction gives both the frame and slide superior strength while maintaining correct WWII geometry. The matte gray/green phosphate finish, paired with restrained roll marks, delivers an authentic service-grade appearance.
Series 70 internals provide the crisp, single-action trigger pull that 1911 enthusiasts expect, without additional firing-pin safeties. Controls remain true to the GI pattern, including the spur hammer, short solid trigger with serrations, and the combination thumb and grip safeties.
The 5" forged carbon-steel barrel, combined with excellent bore and rifling condition, supports reliable accuracy and makes the pistol eligible for CMP “as-issued” matches. GI-style fixed sights—rounded blade front and square-notch rear—complete the period-correct sight picture.
Double-diamond checkered walnut grips arrive installed, while a spare set of WWII-style plastic panels lets the owner switch to an even more vintage look in minutes. Two 7-round steel magazines are included for range-ready convenience.
Made in Turkey and imported by Tisas Knoxville, TN, this reproduction blends historical authenticity with modern materials and manufacturing consistency, offering collectors and shooters a dependable take on the storied M1911A1 platform.
