Iver Johnson 1911A1 HAWK | .45 ACP | 4.25in Ported

The Iver Johnson 1911A1 HAWK is a traditional 1911-style semi-automatic chambered in .45 ACP with a ported slide and matte blued finish. It features wood grips, a steel frame and a 4.25 inch barrel, giving the handgun a classic appearance with a number of modernized control features. For a compact red-dot option under $1000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a low-profile pistol optic such as the Holosun 507C for quick sight acquisition while retaining co-witnessed iron sights.

Common applications include range target shooting and traditional single-stack 1911 competition platforms.
