The M1911 A2 FS Tactical follows the classic Government pattern with a 5-inch barrel and standard 1911 barrel bushing. It is chambered in .45 ACP and operates via a single-action, short-recoil system consistent with the 1911 platform.
Built for durability and consistency, the slide is forged 4140 steel (per Armscor) and the frame is 4140 carbon steel with a black finish. Front and rear slanted cocking serrations provide confident handling during press checks and manipulations.
Target-focused sighting is delivered by a dovetailed fiber-optic front sight with an orange rod and a fully adjustable rear sight with two white dots. An integral five-slot Picatinny rail on the dust cover supports the mounting of compatible accessories.
Ergonomic upgrades include a beavertail grip safety with a raised memory pad, a flared magazine well for quicker reloads, a skeletonized long trigger, and a skeletonized commander-style ring hammer. Textured black polymer grip panels offer secure purchase in various conditions.
This A2-pattern frame is designed for Para-pattern magazines. The barrel hood is marked 'CAL. 45 ACP,' and import markings read 'APINTL-PAHRUMP NV ACP PHILIPPINES,' indicating Armscor Precision International importation and Philippine manufacture.
