This Custom II carries dedicated unit commemorative engravings, including the 'ASSASSINS' skull-in-spade logo, '111th SAPPER CO Fort Riley, Kansas,' and 'OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM 2012–2013.' The serial number uses a distinctive 111SAP prefix that aligns with the commemorative theme and is reflected on the included factory case label.
It is configured as a full-size Government-pattern 1911 with a 5-inch barrel and a non-railed steel frame in a matte black finish. The frame is rollmarked YONKERS NY USA, and the barrel hood is correctly marked .45 ACP. Fixed dovetailed sights provide a clean sight picture without adjustment knobs or inserts.
Key operational features include a single-action, semi-automatic system with a skeletonized, three-hole aluminum trigger and a skeletonized Commander-style hammer. The pistol uses a single-sided left thumb safety, a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump, and a firing pin safety. The ejection port is lowered and flared for reliable case clearance.
Practical 1911 details are present throughout: front and rear cocking serrations on the slide, a smooth front strap paired with a checkered mainspring housing, and checkered hardwood grips laser-engraved with the unit emblem. Capacity is 7+1 rounds with the included single-stack magazine.
