The GI LTC configuration features a Commander-length 4.25-inch slide and a bushing barrel with a standard recoil spring plug. The frame is aluminum alloy with a matte black finish, matched to a matte black slide with rear-only serrations. A flat, vertically serrated mainspring housing and checkered wood double-diamond grips provide a secure, classic 1911 interface.
Sight setup includes a dovetailed red fiber-optic front and a low-mount two-dot rear, both set into the slide for durability and ease of replacement. Controls are true to the 1911 platform, including a checkered magazine release, a thumb safety, and a grip safety.
The ignition components are modernized with a skeletonized Commander-style hammer and a skeletonized three-hole trigger. The magazines are single-stack .45 ACP units marked "MADE IN ITALY," and the stated capacity is 8+1.
Manufactured as part of Para USA's GI series, this example carries Pineville, NC frame markings and the factory model number GIC45RK. Chambered in .45 ACP and operating via a single-action, short-recoil, semi-automatic system, it delivers the familiar 1911 manual of arms in a lighter, Commander-length format.
