The M1911 A1-FS Tactical configuration denotes a full-size Government pattern with a 5-inch barrel and a 7+1 capacity in .45 ACP. The slide and frame are finished in FDE, and the steel construction provides classic 1911 weight and balance without an accessory rail on the dust cover.
Operational features include a single-action, short-recoil operated system with rear cocking serrations for positive slide manipulation. The ejection port is lowered and beveled to aid reliable ejection. A skeletonized, lightened trigger and a skeletonized commander-style hammer round out the performance-focused controls.
Safety features are comprehensive: an ambidextrous thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a raised palm pad promote consistent engagement and control. Fixed, dovetailed sights consist of a front blade and a low-profile rear for a clean, snag-resistant sight picture.
Textured starburst-pattern laminate/composite grip panels provide a secure hold. The pistol is marked 'M1911 A1 - FS' and bears importer and origin markings, including 'APINTL—PAHRUMP NV' and 'ACP PHILIPPINES,' reflecting manufacture by Armscor in the Philippines and import by Armscor Precision International.
