Standard Manufacturing 1911DM | .45 ACP | 5in Damascus

Standard Manufacturing’s full-Damascus 1911 is a limited-production, hand-forged pistol built with traditional Damascus techniques and modern match-grade components. The frame and slide are hand-forged in a chain-pattern 4140 carbon steel Damascus and fitted to a 5 inch stainless match-grade barrel. This pistol is appropriate for competitive target shooting and for collectors who value artisanal construction. For an optic that pairs well with this platform and remains under $1,000, consider a compact red dot such as the Vortex Venom 3 MOA.
