Armscor Gi Rocki 51453Ma *Ma 1911A2 Std Fshc 45 5 10R Blk

The Rock Island Armory GI Standard 1911 in 45 ACP is a faithful, no-nonsense carry and range gun built around the timeless 1911A1 platform. This is the 1911 that American shooters know—simple, reliable, and proven. It channels the original GI-issue design with modern manufacturing precision, giving you a full-size .45 that feels at home whether you're training at the range or keeping it close for personal protection. The 5-inch barrel strikes that classic balance between shootability and practical carry weight, and the straightforward controls mean there's zero learning curve if you've ever run a traditional 1911.

The GI Standard comes dressed in a durable parkerized finish—that matte, non-reflective coating that's been protecting 1911s for generations. Fixed GI-type sights (front post and rear notch) are mounted the traditional way and kept low-profile so you won't snag them drawing from leather. The rubber grips provide a secure purchase whether your hands are dry or you're wearing gloves. Out of the box, you'll get a crisp factory trigger breaking between 4 and 6 pounds, tuned to give you a shootable, predictable break without surprises.

Massachusetts compliance is already sorted—this gun is ready to order and own in MA without additional modification. Rock Island backs their 1911s with serious engineering and tight tolerances, so you're not paying for a household name, you're paying for a gun that will run when you need it. Whether you shoot it weekly at the range or carry it for serious duty, the GI Standard delivers classic 1911 ergonomics and reliability in a straightforward, affordable package.
