Rock Island Armory 56828 1911 FS | 9mm | 5-inch

The Rock Island Armory Rock Standard full-size 1911 follows a Series 70-inspired design with a stainless slide and frame and a 5-inch barrel chambered in 9mm. It includes classic 1911 controls — beavertail grip safety, skeletonized hammer, and double-diamond checkered wood grips — and ships with fixed dovetail sights. For a modern sighting solution under $1000 that pairs well with this pistol, consider a compact micro red dot such as the Holosun 507K for faster target acquisition while retaining the pistol’s traditional ergonomics. This pistol is suited to range training and target competition where a single-action 1911 platform and crisp trigger pull are desired.
