The Classic Carry Elite is a Government-size 1911 with a 5-inch bushing-fit barrel and a steel frame. Its slide wears a high-polish deep black finish with fine line 'Classic Carry' border cuts, while the frame is matte black for a balanced, purposeful look. The barrel hood is marked '.45 ACP' and the frame is marked 'YONKERS NY USA.'
The slide is configured with rear cocking serrations only and a lowered/flared ejection port. High-polish flats and clean border engraving give it a refined profile that aligns with the Custom Shop build quality and styling.
Ergonomics and controls are set up for confident handling: ambidextrous manual thumb safeties, a beavertail grip safety with memory pad, front strap checkering, a rounded-heel serrated mainspring housing, and a high undercut trigger guard. A skeletonized 3-hole trigger and a skeletonized commander-style hammer complete the control suite.
Sight references are simple and durable with dovetailed fixed 3-dot sights: a white-dot front paired with a low-profile wedge-style rear. Walnut grips with dark checkered inlays provide a secure grasp and complement the slide and frame finishes. Capacity is 8+1, and the package includes multiple single-stack 1911 magazines, including a Wilson Combat 47D.
