The Stainless LW configuration delivers a classic 1911 feel with reduced carry weight, combining a stainless-steel slide and a matte-silver aluminum-alloy frame. The 5-inch Government-length barrel uses a standard barrel bushing and a non-threaded muzzle for traditional 1911 function.
Controls and ergonomics include a beavertail grip safety and a left-side extended manual thumb safety. A skeletonized commander-style hammer and three-hole trigger support a crisp single-action pull. The mainspring housing is serrated while the front strap is smooth, and the slide carries front and rear cocking serrations for sure manipulation.
The sights are dovetailed, with a low-profile fixed rear and an orange fiber-optic front for fast sight acquisition. The slide features a lowered and flared ejection port, and the barrel hood is solid with no loaded-chamber indicator port.
Capacity is 8+1 rounds of .45 ACP, and this pistol comes with three factory steel 8-round magazines. The frame bears the Yonkers NY USA marking, and the pistol is made in the USA.
