Iver Johnson 1911A1 | .45 ACP | 5″ Barrel | 8+1

The Iver Johnson 1911A1 is a Government-size Series 70 pistol chambered in .45 ACP with a 5″ barrel and traditional 1911 controls. It pairs classic steel construction and a matte blued finish with checkered double-diamond walnut grips and fixed sights. For optics, a compact red dot such as a Vortex Venom or similar low-profile reflex sight (under $1,000) is a suitable match for target acquisition while retaining 1911 ergonomics.
