The M 1911 GI standard is a great representation of the original US GI combat issue 1911 chambered in 45 ACP and is built in Rock Island’s top quality production and engineering standards. Fixed low profile sights and traditional smooth slim design are perfect for quick pull holster use. Finished in bright nickel for those that enjoy a glossy and durable look and feel. Smooth wood grips offering a comfort grip that can be appreciated by any in both feel and design. The 5” barrel offers a balanced weight assisting with the accuracy and recoil that made the original 1911 design famous. True to all Rock Island 1911’s, the GI Standard comes with a crisp factory 4 to 6 pound trigger which makes this fine pistol a great experience right out of the box.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this particular item.

The 45 ACP (45 Auto) was designed by John Browning in 1905 for his prototype semiautomatic pistol that eventually became the legendary Colt 1911, using a .452-inch bullet. Browning proposed a 200-grain bullet; U.S. Army Ordnance, smarting from reports of poor performance of the 38 Long Colt in the Philippines, increased bullet weight to 230 grains for greater stopping power...and the 45 ACP as it is today was adopted in 1911. It remains an iconic and popular handgun cartridge for personal defense and competition, and was used by the U.S. military in submachine guns (Thompson and M3) through the 1970s. Although largely replaced by the 9mm for military use and the 9mm and/or 40 S&W in the law enforcement community, the 45 ACP is still used by the U.S. military and numerous law enforcement agencies in various applications. The standard load remains a 230-grain bullet at 780 to 850 fps, but lighter, faster bullets from 165 to 200 grain, delivering a bit less recoil, are also available. — Craig Boddington
