This full-size GI Standard follows the classic 1911 pattern with a 5 inch barrel, GI bushing, and a short recoil spring plug. It retains Series 70 lockwork with no firing-pin safety, and both the frame and slide are 4140 steel finished in parkerizing for a uniform, service-style appearance.
Sight configuration is GI-style fixed: a staked front blade paired with a low-profile, fixed rear in a dovetail. The slide has rear-only vertical serrations. Controls include a thumb safety and grip safety, and the trigger is a solid, short, curved design.
Aftermarket Magpul textured polymer grip panels are installed to enhance handling, and the original Rock Island Armory checkered grip panels are included as spares. Capacity is 8+1 with the included single-stack 8-round magazine, and the pistol follows standard 1911 compatibility for grips, magazines, and holsters.
Markings include "M1911 A1 - FS" on the dust cover, the Rock Island Armory crest on the left side of the slide, and importer/proof marks reading "APINTL-PAHRUMP NV, PHILIPPINES." The pistol is manufactured in the Philippines and imported through Pahrump, Nevada.
