Iver Johnson 1911A1 | .45 ACP | 5″ Barrel | 8rd

The Iver Johnson 1911A1 is a full-size, steel-frame 1911-style pistol chambered in .45 ACP with a 5″ barrel and traditional GI-style external controls. It ships with synthetic white pearl grips and a single 8-round magazine, and features fixed sights and a chrome finish. This pistol suits range use and historical-style competition where a classic 1911 platform and full-size sight radius are valued. For an optic that pairs well while staying under $1,000, consider a compact red-dot such as a Vortex Venom or a similar small-form reflex sight designed for slide or optic plates.
