The 1911A1 Tanker configuration features a 4.25-inch Commander-length slide and barrel in .45 ACP, delivering a compact take on the classic single-action 1911. Controls remain true to form with a left-side thumb safety and a grip safety, complemented by a short, solid trigger and a spur hammer.
Sights are GI-style and fixed, with a serrated, staked front blade and a square-notch rear. The slide carries rear-only vertical serrations for a period-correct feel, and both the slide and frame wear a uniform matte black finish. Black checkered grip panels complete the classic service-style look.
The barrel uses a conventional 1911 barrel/bushing system and a polished chamber hood. Markings include a slide legend reading "1911A1 TANKER" and a barrel hood stamped ".45 ACP." A1-style frame scallops and an arched mainspring housing further reinforce the A1 pattern.
Factory and import identifiers are present, including the import mark "TISAS KNOXVILLE TN" and the barrel marking "ZIG M45 TURKIYE," reflecting production in Turkey. Capacity is 8+1, and this pistol includes two steel 8-round magazines with low-profile base pads and numbered witness holes, along with the original factory hard case, bushing wrench, cleaning tools, and manual.
