GP Arms Patriot DS 4.1 9mm Double-Stack 1911 Pistol | Threaded Match Barrel, Optics-Ready Slide, Stainless Frame
The Patriot DS 4.1 is GP Arms’ compact, double-stack 1911 built for shooters who want modern features in a boutique U.S.-made package. This early-production example (serial under #100) pairs a 4.1-inch match-grade bull barrel with a stainless frame, full-length accessory rail, and an optics-cut slide. A modular polymer grip, flared magwell, and two MBX Extreme 10-round magazines round out a feature set that makes this pistol stand out in the growing “2011” market.

- GP Arms Patriot DS owner’s manual
- Thread protector (black)
- 2× 10-round polished steel MBX Extreme magazines
The 4.1-inch match-grade bull barrel is threaded at the muzzle and ships with a protector, giving buyers immediate suppressor or compensator options without additional gunsmithing.
A stainless slide finished in matte stainless features aggressive front and rear serrations, weight-reducing windows, and a factory optic cut with a serrated rear sight integrated into the cover plate. A red fiber-optic front blade provides a bright sight picture in a wide range of lighting.
The stainless frame wears a full-length Picatinny rail for lights or lasers. Its modular polymer grip module, combined with a flared aluminum magwell, speeds reloads while keeping overall weight balanced for a compact carry or competition role.
Controls follow classic single-action 1911 logic: an ambidextrous thumb safety, beavertail grip safety, and a flat, skeletonized trigger tuned at the factory for a crisp 3.5–4 lb break. A skeletonized combat hammer completes the modernized fire-control setup.
Introduced in 2024, the Patriot DS line represents GP Arms’ entry into the double-stack 1911 arena. This example’s early serial number underscores its place at the start of the series and adds collector appeal alongside its shooter-focused features.
