The Rock Island Armory M1911-A1 GI Standard is a full-size, steel-frame 1911 chambered in .45 ACP with a 5″ barrel and traditional GI-style controls and fixed sights. It is finished in matte nickel and fitted with pearl-style grips for a classic appearance. A compact red-dot optic such as the Vortex Venom (well under $1000) pairs cleanly with this pistol for faster sight acquisition on the range.
