Ballistik Defense ADAM 45b 1911 .45 ACP, Full-Size 5-inch, Steel, Matte Black, Fixed Sights, Wood Grips, 2x 8-Round Magazines
The Ballistik Defense ADAM 45b is a Government-size 1911 in .45 ACP with a 5-inch steel bushing barrel and matte black steel frame and slide. It features fixed sights with a small brass-bead front blade, checkered hardwood grips with BD medallions, and classic GI details including a recoil spring plug with a checkered face. This example includes two 8-round magazines and a full factory accessory set, with clear import markings and an MSRP of 699 dollars.
This full-size ADAM-series pistol follows the proven 1911 platform with single-action operation and an 8+1 capacity. The slide carries angled front and rear serrations for confident manipulation, while the dust cover remains clean without an accessory rail. The front strap is smooth, and the mainspring housing is vertically serrated.
The 5-inch steel bushing barrel is paired with a GI-style recoil system that uses a standard plug with a checkered face. Sights are fixed: a front blade with a small brass bead and a rear notch, offering a simple, durable sight picture. The slide and frame wear a uniform matte black finish.
Controls are 1911-standard with a left-side manual thumb safety, a grip safety, and a standard magazine release. The solid, smooth-face trigger and skeletonized spur (rowel) hammer maintain a traditional look and feel. Checkered hardwood grips with BD medallions complete the classic presentation.
Markings include MADE IN TURKIYE and a U.S. importer stamp with a Moorpark, CA address. Internal components and the barrel hood show matching serialing, and the package includes both a factory 8-round magazine and an ACT-MAG (Italy) 8-round magazine.
