The 1911 platform remains a benchmark for ergonomics, trigger feel, and combat-proven reliability. For shooters who want a modernized take on that classic design, a carefully updated 1911 can deliver contemporary safety and finish enhancements without sacrificing the platform’s hallmark performance.

ALPHA FOXTROT AF1911 STANDARD (80 SERIES) brings those updates to the .45 ACP field with a full-length 5-inch barrel, Novak-style white dot sights, and an 80-Series action that adds a firing pin block for enhanced drop safety. Shop this product

Design and Finish

The AF1911 Standard keeps the timeless 1911 silhouette while adding a durable all-black QPQ coating over stainless components, paired with a stainless barrel finish for corrosion resistance. Those choices balance longevity for range use and duty carry with the classic lines shooters expect from a 5-inch service-length 1911.

Controls, Ergonomics, and Sights

Novak-style white dot sights provide fast sight acquisition for both precision and defensive shooting. The grip geometry and control layout are tuned for modern ergonomics without departing from the original platform, making reloads and manipulation predictable under stress.

Safety Upgrades

The 80-Series action incorporates a firing pin block — a mechanical drop safety that prevents the firing pin from moving forward unless the trigger is intentionally pulled. This feature is a meaningful modern enhancement for shooters who prioritize safe handling in a classic platform.

Ballistics and Practical Use

Chambered in .45 ACP, the AF1911 Standard delivers proven stopping power with manageable recoil in a full-frame 5-inch barrel. The 8-round magazine included supports traditional capacity expectations for a single-stack 1911 while maintaining a slim grip profile preferred by many shooters for control and accuracy. Priced at $1,199.99, this pistol positions itself as a high-value option for enthusiasts seeking quality finishes and updated safety features.
