Design and Finish

The AUTO-ORDNANCE IWO JIMA begins as an all-steel Auto-Ordnance GI model 1911 made in the United States, offering the solidity and balance expected from a full-steel platform. Outlaw Ordnance custom engraving decorates both sides: the left side carries battle scenes and the action’s official name, Operation Detachment; grips reproduce Admiral Chester Nimitz’s quote — “Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima uncommon valor was a common virtue” — along with the Mount Suribachi flag-raising depiction. The right side includes dates of the operation and an advancing American flag, while the grip shows an eagle and anchor motif. The Cerakote OD Green finish with distressed Copper accents provides corrosion resistance and a lived-in aesthetic that complements the engraved wood grips.

Performance and Features

Chambered in .45 ACP with a 5″ barrel, this 1911 balances recoil management and terminal performance—.45 ACP remains a proven choice for controlled, precise semi-auto shooting and defensive applications. The pistol weighs 39 oz and measures 8.6″ overall, giving it steady sighting mass for follow-up accuracy. Safety features include a thumb safety, grip safety, and firing pin block. Sights are a blade front and a rear drift-adjustable unit for windage. One 7-round magazine ships with the pistol.
