Standard Manufacturing 1911B | .45 ACP | 5″ Barrel

The Standard Manufacturing 1911B is a full-size, single-action semi-automatic pistol finished in a hand-polished Royal Blue. It is built on a 4140 carbon steel frame and slide with a 5 inch match-grade barrel and rosewood double-diamond stocks, intended for shooters who prioritize fit, finish, and traditional 1911 ergonomics. A low-profile micro red dot such as a Holosun 507K (well under $1,000) pairs well for fast sight acquisition while preserving the pistol’s slide footprint.

Typical applications for this 5″ 1911 include precision target shooting and competition or as a collector-grade, showpiece sidearm where finish and machining quality matter.
