The M 1911 GI standard is a great representation of the original US GI combat issue 1911 and is chambered in 38 Super and built with our exacting engineering standards. Fixed, low profile sights and traditional smooth slim design are perfect for quick pull holster use. A bright nickel finish makes it a great choice for those who enjoy a glossy but durable look and feel. Smooth wood grips offer comfort in both feel and design. The 5 inches 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 lb trigger to make it a great experience right out of the box.
