Auto-Ordnance Red Tails 1911 | .45 ACP | 5″ | 7rd | 1911BKOC18

The Auto-Ordnance Red Tails 1911 is a commemorative .45 ACP government-style pistol built as part of the Winged Warriors Series to honor the Tuskegee Airmen. It pairs traditional 1911 ergonomics and controls with decorative Cerakote/Armor Black slide artwork and engraved hardwood grips for a collectible appearance. For a practical optic choice under $1,000 that keeps the slide profile usable and sight radius clear, consider a compact red-dot such as a Trijicon RMR (Type 2) or a comparable low-profile reflex sight.

Common applications: historical/collector display and recreational range shooting.
