Built on Auto-Ordnance's steel 1911A1 platform, this full-size pistol features GI-pattern controls including an arched mainspring housing, non-beavertail grip safety, single-sided thumb safety, and a spur hammer. The short, grooved trigger and bushing-fit, non-threaded muzzle follow traditional Government-style configuration.
The slide and frame carry a distressed Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish with a clear overcoat. Rear-only vertical cocking serrations and GI-pattern sights keep the profile classic, with a front blade and a square-notch rear that is dovetailed and drift-adjustable for windage.
Factory engraving by Outlaw Ordnance highlights the Bootlegger Prohibition theme. Legends include 'Bootlegger Prohibition Edition' and 'White Lightning 130 Proof Tennessee Moonshine,' complemented by a Prohibition Service Treasury Department seal, scroll-style panels, and period artwork. Engraved American walnut grips complete the presentation.
Chambered in .45 ACP with an 8+1 capacity, the pistol measures 8.6 inches in overall length and weighs 2.3 pounds. Manufacturer markings read Auto-Ordnance Corp., Worcester, MA, and the case end label confirms model 1911BKOC9. This is a recent release from Auto-Ordnance.
