Iver Johnson 1911 A1 Water Moccasin | .45 ACP | 5″

The Iver Johnson 1911 A1 Water Moccasin is a Series 70-style 1911 chambered in .45 ACP with a 5″ barrel and an 8-round magazine. It features a green Water Moccasin snakeskin hydrographic finish on the slide and frame, a beavertail grip safety, extended slide stop and thumb safety, and white synthetic pearl grips. This pistol is built with a forged slide and cast frame, hand-fitted slide-to-frame tolerances, and ships with one magazine and a hard lockable case.

This full-size 1911 pairs well with a compact red-dot sight under $1000 such as a Holosun HS507C (sold separately) for fast target acquisition without adding excessive bulk. Typical applications include range and target shooting and collecting or historical-style carry.
