The M 1911 GI standard is an exceptional representation of the original 1911 combat issue pistol used by the US military. Engineered to meet the highest standards, this firearm is chambered in 45 ACP. Designed with fixed, low profile sights and a sleek slim profile, it is ideal for rapid draw holster use. Its rugged parkerized finish ensures durability and provides a non-reflective surface. The smooth wood grips offer both comfort and aesthetic appeal. With a compact 3.50" barrel, it is perfect for concealed carry and easy storage, while still delivering the impressive power of the 45 ACP cartridge. Like all Rock Island 1911s, the GI Standard is equipped with a factory 4- to 6-pound trigger, delivering a crisp and satisfying shooting experience right out of the box.
