The Rock Island Armory 1911 GI Standard is a great representation of the original US GI combat issue 1911 and is chambered in 45 ACP and built with our exacting engineering standards. Fixed, low-profile sights and a traditional, smooth, slim design are perfect for quick holster use. A durable parkerized finish gives it a tough, smooth, non-reflective surface. Smooth wood grips offer comfort in both feel and design. The 5” barrel offers a balanced weight to assist with the accuracy and recoil that made the original 1911 design famous. True to all Rock Island 1911s, the GI Standard comes with a crisp factory 4- to 6-pound trigger for a great experience right out of the box.

  Considerations: While the GI series offers a faithful reproduction of the classic 1911 design, it lacks some modern enhancements found in contemporary 1911 models, such as extended beavertail grip safeties, enhanced sights, or ambidextrous controls. Potential buyers should consider whether they prefer the traditional design or seek modern features in their firearm. Conclusion:
