Fixed, low profile sights and traditional smooth slim design are perfect for quick pull holster use. A durable parkerized finish gives it a tough, smooth, non-reflective surface. Smooth wood grips offer comfort in both feel and design. The 3.50Ó barrel offers a true compact version perfect for concealed carry and small storage while delivering the kinetic power of the 45 ACP cartridge. True to all Rock Island 1911s, the GI Standard comes with a crisp factory 4- to 6-pound trigger for a great experience right out of the box.
