Standard Manufacturing 1911 | .45 ACP | 5-inch Barrel

The Standard Manufacturing 1911 is a full-size, steel-frame 1911 chambered in .45 ACP featuring a high-polished case colored finish, rosewood double-diamond grips, and a 5-inch stainless steel match-grade barrel with match bushing. The frame and slide are CNC machined from 4140 carbon steel forgings, and the pistol includes enhanced fit-and-finish details such as a lowered and flared ejection port, rear slide serrations, and an upswept beavertail grip safety. For a compact red-dot option under $1,000 that pairs well with this pistol, consider the Trijicon RMR Type 2 mounted on a proper 1911 cut or optic plate for improved sight picture and target acquisition.

Common real-world applications for this 1911 include precision target shooting and NRA-style pistol competition, as well as a collectible or show piece for those who value traditional 1911 craftsmanship and finish.
