The Black Ice variant features a lightened slide with three oval windows per side and distinctive stepped cocking serrations. These cuts reduce slide mass and give the pistol its signature profile while maintaining a clean, functional grasping surface.
Its 5" match-grade stainless steel barrel is DLC-coated, paired with a match-grade, skeletonized V-cut aluminum trigger for a crisp single-action, hammer-fired operation. An ambidextrous thumb safety and a grip safety provide familiar 1911 controls.
Sighting is handled by TruGlo TFX Pro day/night tritium sights: an orange-ring tritium front and a two-dot tritium rear with a ledge profile (rear marked TG-H3). Both sights are dovetailed into the slide for durability and serviceability.
The stainless steel frame and slide wear a silver/gray KimPro II finish. Ergonomics include an extended beavertail grip safety with memory bump, frontstrap checkering, textured G10 grip panels, and an integral, flush-fit magwell for streamlined reloads. This Government-length 1911 is built without an accessory rail.
Chambered in 9mm Luger with an 8+1 capacity, the pistol is marked “YONKERS NY USA” on the frame and is made in the USA. It includes one 8-round magazine as noted.
