The E-Series treatment sets this pistol apart with fish-scale cocking serrations at the front and rear, a flat-top slide with longitudinal anti-glare serrations, and an external extractor paired with a lowered and flared ejection port. The slide features stainless polished flats with matte rounds for a purposeful contrast.
Built on a stainless-steel frame, this non-railed Government-length 1911 uses a traditional bushing-fit barrel and GI recoil spring plug. The front strap and mainspring housing are checkered, and the magazine well is lightly beveled to aid reloads.
Controls are classic single-action 1911: a manual thumb safety and a grip safety, complemented by a skeletonized Commander-style hammer and a skeletonized three-hole trigger. Sights are fixed 3-dot (white), with a dovetailed white-dot front and a low-mount 2-dot rear secured by a set screw.
Checkered wood E-Series grip panels with the stylized E medallion provide a secure, traditional feel. Approximate dimensions are 8.7 in L, 5.6 in H, and 1.30 in W, with an unloaded weight of approximately 39.5–39.8 oz. Capacity is 7+1, and the included factory case carries a label matching model and SKU 108482.
