Auto-Ordnance 1911 Army 250th | .45 ACP | 5″ 7rd

This is a commemorative Auto‑Ordnance 1911 produced to mark the U.S. Army’s 250th Anniversary. It is built on the classic M1911A1 Government‑style profile and is chambered in .45 ACP with a 5‑inch barrel. The pistol features custom laser‑engraved hardwood grips, an OD Green Cerakote slide with detailed engraving and a Coyote Tan Cerakote frame paired with blackened controls. For a purpose‑built optic choice under $1,000, consider a compact red‑dot such as the Trijicon RMR for fast, durable sighting suitable for range and carry configurations.

Typical applications for this firearm include commemorative collecting and range/precision target shooting, where its engraved finish and traditional 1911 ergonomics are best appreciated.
