Savage 1911 Government | .45 ACP | 5″ Stainless

The Savage 1911 Government is a full‑size, single‑action semi‑automatic pistol built on a forged stainless steel frame and slide. It features a 5″ stainless barrel with an 11° target crown, VZ G10 grips and Novak Lo‑Mount adjustable sights. For a reflex sight under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a compact, pistol‑rated red dot such as a Holosun 507C for rapid sight acquisition without adding undue bulk.
