This Rock Island Armory M1911 A1 FS Tactical II is a full-size .45 ACP 1911 with custom patriotic laser-style engraving across the slide.

Manufactured by Armscor in the Philippines and imported by APINTL in Pahrump, NV, it offers a distinctive presentation with practical 1911 ergonomics and controls.

The slide is extensively decorated with patriotic laser-style artwork, including a Statue of Liberty motif, American flag and soldier silhouettes, an "IN GOD WE TRUST" ribbon along the top of the slide, and scrollwork at the muzzle. This customization sets the pistol apart visually while preserving the Tactical II configuration.
Sighting equipment favors clarity and adjustment: a fiber-optic front sight pairs with a fully adjustable, target-style rear. The ejection port is lowered and flared, and rear slide serrations provide practical purchase during manipulation.
The steel frame houses a bushing-type 5-inch barrel and includes user-forward features such as a beavertail grip safety with memory pad, an ambidextrous manual thumb safety, a beveled/extended magazine-well funnel, and textured gray/black G10-type grip panels. A skeletonized three-hole trigger and a commander-style skeletonized hammer round out the firing controls.
This Government-size 1911 is chambered in .45 ACP with an 8+1 capacity and retains the familiar 1911 platform dimensions and handling. Markings indicate manufacture by Armscor in the Philippines and importation by Armscor Precision International (APINTL), Pahrump NV, with corresponding import stamps present.
