Built in the USA and marked New Britain, Connecticut, this 1911 A1 reflects Standard Manufacturing's take on the classic Government pattern. The full-size steel frame and slide are finished in a high-polish blue that complements the traditional double-diamond checkered walnut grip panels.
The 5-inch stainless steel barrel uses a bushing system and shows its ".45 AUTO" hood through the ejection port. Practical slide upgrades include rear cocking serrations and a standard GI-style ejection port for smooth cycling and easy manipulation.
Controls are set up for confident single-action operation: a left-side manual thumb safety, a grip safety, a solid short trigger, and a skeletonized spur hammer. The fixed, dovetailed sights provide a clear, simple sight picture.
This pistol is chambered in .45 ACP with a 7+1 capacity and includes two 7-round magazines. Notable production details include the GVT serial prefix consistent with a Government model and a factory box label marked "1911 B" while the pistol itself is marked "1911 A1."
