What’s Included
- Rock Island Armory M1911-A1 FS Tactical Cerakote .45 ACP pistol with aftermarket smooth striped hardwood grips
- 3× 8-round steel single-stack magazines (2 Chip McCormick Power Mag, 1 unmarked blued)
The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote applied to both slide and frame is a distributor-exclusive colorway, providing added corrosion resistance and a distinctive look on the range or in the safe.
Forged from 4140 ordnance steel, the slide rides on a cast 4140 frame with a beveled mag well for quicker reloads. Rear cocking serrations aid manipulation, while the skeletonized trigger with adjustable over-travel screw promotes a crisp, consistent break.
Extended beavertail and thumb safeties enhance control during rapid fire, and the skeletonized rowel hammer speeds lock time. The checkered magazine release supports positive ejection of the included 8-round magazines.
Novak-style dovetail sights offer a clean sight picture without snagging on gear. The smooth striped hardwood grip panels introduce custom flair and comfortable purchase without adding bulk.
