Armscor Rock Rocki 51719 Ultra Fs 40S 5 8R Blk
The Rock Island Armory Rock Ultra full-size 1911 in .40 S&W is a no-nonsense carry and duty pistol built on proven 70-series design principles. Chambered in .40 S&W with an 8-round capacity, this 5-inch barreled 1911 delivers the reliability and ergonomics serious shooters expect from the platform, whether you're training at the range, carrying for personal protection, or running defensive drills. Rock Island brings genuine gunsmithing standards to an accessible price point—this isn't a budget gun that feels cheap; it's a practical, well-engineered 1911 that runs.
The Ultra FS comes dressed for the job: a snag-free, low-profile profile designed to clear leather fast, fiber optic front sight for quick sight acquisition, and an LPA MPS1-type adjustable rear sight for precision. The skeletonized hammer and trigger with adjustable over-travel stop give you a crisp 4–6 pound break right out of the box—no gunsmith trip needed. Ambidextrous safety, full-length guide rod, and a parkerized matte finish that resists glint and corrosion round out the practical details. G10 tactical grips provide a secure purchase in all conditions.
At 2.5 pounds and 8 inches overall, the Rock Ultra is true full-size geometry without unnecessary bulk. The trigger is the heartbeat of any 1911, and Rock Island's reputation for clean, consistent breaks makes this one easy to shoot well. Whether you're a 1911 purist who respects the heritage or a working shooter who just wants a reliable, honest gun, the Rock Island Armory Rock Ultra earns its place in your safe.
