Armscor M1911 A1 Ms-Tact Ii Rocki 51487 Rock Ultra Ms 45 4.25 8R Blk

The Rock Island Armory M1911 A1 Tactical II Midsize is a .45 ACP single-action pistol built for shooters who want a proven 1911 platform in a more compact footprint. With a 4.25-inch barrel and an overall length of 7.5 inches, this steel-framed tactical pistol splits the difference between full-size duty guns and pocket carry—making it equally at home on the range, in a duty holster, or as a capable defensive sidearm for concealed carry. At 35 ounces, it carries substantial heft without the bulk of a Government-model 1911, and the 8+1 round capacity keeps you loaded without adding unnecessary grip length.

This is a traditional single-action 1911 that rewards solid fundamentals and trigger discipline. The steel frame absorbs recoil predictably, and the design is as reliable as the platform itself—no surprises, no gimmicks. Whether you're a seasoned 1911 shooter or stepping into the platform for the first time, the Tactical II's proven ergonomics and straightforward controls get out of your way and let you shoot.

The fiber optic front sight and tactical rear sight combination gives you a fast sight picture in variable light, and the VZ Tactical grips provide a secure hold with genuine feel and texture. The black finish is professional and practical—it doesn't draw attention and won't reflective light at awkward moments. Rock Island Armory has built a solid reputation for delivering quality 1911s at realistic prices, and this Tactical II model is no exception: it's a legitimate shooter that will handle whatever training, competition, or defensive role you put it to.
