Materials, finish, and durability

Stainless steel frame and slide provide corrosion resistance and longevity under range and field use. The Cerakote Burnt Bronze with Black Distressed accents not only adds classic visual appeal but protects against abrasions and environmental exposure. For operators who keep gear in rotation, those finish choices reduce maintenance while retaining the 1911’s signature look.

Controls, grips, and sights

The aluminum engraved grips are both a statement and a functional component—featuring custom “Old Glory” engraving and the phrase “I’m mighty proud of that ragged old flag.” Paired with checkering on the frontstrap, they promote a secure hold. Night sights are fitted from the factory, enhancing low-light target acquisition for home defense and duty applications.

Caliber considerations

Chambered in .45ACP, this 1911 emphasizes proven stopping power in a controlled platform. The longer barrel and 1911 ergonomics tame recoil, making follow-up shots more manageable than many expect. .45ACP remains a popular choice for defensive use and for enthusiasts who value the platform’s historical pedigree.
