The slide is correctly marked for the early production pattern, showing "ULTRA CARRY" without the "II," identifying it as a Pre-Series II example. It uses rear-only cocking serrations and a lowered/flared ejection port for reliable extraction and easy manipulation.
Its 3-inch bushingless, bull/coned barrel is purpose-built for the Ultra format. The steel slide rides on an aluminum-alloy frame, balancing durability with carry-friendly weight. Approximate dimensions are OAL ~6.9 in, height ~4.75 in, width ~1.28 in, with an approximate weight of ~25 oz.
Sighting is handled by low-profile fixed dovetail sights front and rear. Controls include a single-sided thumb safety and a grip safety. The pistol features a skeletonized commander-style hammer and a skeletonized three-hole trigger, along with a flat, vertically serrated mainspring housing.
This single-stack .45 ACP 1911 has a 7+1 capacity and comes with three 7-round magazines. Aftermarket wraparound rubber finger-groove grips are installed for added purchase, and a spare set of grip panels is included to suit your preference. Made in the USA.
