Rock Island Armory Rock Standard ECS 1911 .45 ACP 7rd | 51868

The Rock Standard ECS is Rock Island Armory’s compact 1911 built with traditional Series 70 styling and hand-fitted components. It is chambered for .45 ACP and ships with a 7-round magazine, matte stainless finishes, and double-diamond checkered wood grips. For those who prefer a red-dot on a compact 1911, consider the Trijicon RMR Type 2 (priced under $1,000); note this model is not drilled and tapped for optics and mounting an RMR may require a slide cut or gunsmith work. Typical uses include precision range practice and legal concealed carry where local law permits.
