Great Lakes GL1911-45FSSBLU 1911 | 5″ .45 ACP

The Great Lakes GL1911-45FSSBLU is a full-size 1911-pattern pistol featuring a 5″ match-grade stainless steel barrel and a Blue Titanium Cerakote lower frame paired with a black ported slide. The slide is cut to an RMSC optics footprint and the pistol ships with high-visibility fiber optic target sights and a Picatinny frame rail for accessories. For a compact micro red-dot option under $1000 that complements the RMSC cut and target-oriented profile, consider a Holosun 507K.

Suitable applications include precision-target/range shooting and action-oriented competition where a robust full-size 1911 platform and an optic-ready slide are beneficial.
