The Guardian configuration centers on a 3.9 in bull barrel that is bushingless, ramped, and fully supported, providing robust chamber support in a compact format. STI's RecoilMaster captured recoil system is designed for reliable cycling and easy maintenance in this officer-length package.
The slide features polished flats with a matte top and rear serrations only, delivering a clean two-tone presentation over the blued steel frame. The overall length is approximately 7.5 in, with an empty weight around 32.4 oz, balancing carry dimensions with all-steel durability.
Sight regulation is handled by a TAS adjustable low-profile rear with a square notch, paired to a ramped front blade with a single dot. This adjustable three-dot setup supports precise zeroing while keeping the profile streamlined.
Controls and ergonomics reflect a classic single-action 1911 layout with both a thumb safety and grip safety. A skeletonized long trigger with lightening windows and a skeletonized rowel hammer complete the fire-control suite. The pistol is finished with checkered cocobolo wood grips bearing the STI medallion, and it carries a 7+1 capacity in .45 ACP.
