The Baby Rock brings the familiar 1911 platform to a compact .380 ACP package. It uses a single-action, recoil-operated system with a skeletonized rowel (Commander-style) hammer and a skeletonized trigger with lightening holes. The pistol includes both a thumb safety and a grip safety for traditional 1911 handling.
Construction is all-metal with a carbon steel frame and slide, finished in Parkerized. Angled front and rear cocking serrations aid manipulation, and the slide nose is beveled/chamfered. Checkered black polymer grips with Rock Island Armory medallions provide a secure hold.
Sights are fixed and low-profile, with a blade front and a notch rear. The 3.75-inch barrel uses six-groove rifling with a 1:16 right-hand twist. Capacity is 7+1 using the included 7-round magazine.
Dimensions are approximately 6.63 inches in overall length, 4.63 inches in height, and 1.25 inches in width, with a weight of about 1.47 pounds. Observed markings include "M1911A 380" on the frame, the Rock Island Armory crest on the slide, and "CAL .380" on the barrel hood. It is manufactured by Armscor in the Philippines and imported by Armscor Precision International (Pahrump, NV), with import marks "APINTL-PAHRUMP NV" and "ACP PHILIPPINES." Introduced to the U.S. market in 2015, it delivers a compact, metal-frame .380 1911 configuration.
