Design and Build

Visually the pistol is defined by deep engraving and period cues: “Liberty. Death” and the Presidential Seal on the right slide panel, “Don’t. Tread” with the Gadsden-style snake on the left, and custom Goncalo wood grips bearing 13 stars and a Liberty Bell motif. The custom Cerakote mix of brown and black gives a subdued, battlefield-appropriate look while resisting wear and corrosion.

Key Specifications and Controls

The AUTO-ORDNANCE LIBERTY is chambered in .45 ACP, built on a GI Model 1911 frame with a 5″ barrel, overall length of 8.6″, and a weight around 2.3 lbs. Sights are traditional GI-style: blade front and a rear that is drift-adjustable for windage. Safety features include a thumb safety, grip safety, and a firing pin block. One 7-round magazine is included.

Why .45 ACP?

.45 ACP remains favored for its balance of controllable recoil and terminal performance at defensive distances. In a single-stack 1911 platform like this, .45 ACP delivers proven stopping power in a compact, shootable package.
