Key features that set it apart

Sights, finish, and controls

Target-focused features include an 18K gold bead front sight paired with a Heinie SlantPro black rear sight for fast alignment and a crisp sight picture. Rear cocking serrations improve slide manipulation for range or maintenance. The pistol’s DLC finish enhances wear resistance while maintaining an understated tactical look.

Ergonomics and tactile details

Controls are refined for practical use: a medium solid trigger promotes consistent break and reset; 25 LPI checkering on the front strap and mainspring housing boosts purchase under recoil; double diamond walnut grips blend classic aesthetics with a solid, repeatable hand placement.

Caliber: .45 ACP — this cartridge remains a top choice for controlled, effective terminal performance and a predictable recoil impulse when paired with a well-balanced 5″ government-frame pistol. Whether for range work, controlled-fire drills, or maintaining a historical 1911 feel, the .45 ACP in a match-grade barrel delivers proven results.

Collectibility and pricing

Limited to only 100 pieces and delivered new, unfired with commemorative engraving, this pistol is as much a collector’s piece as it is a functional firearm. Asking price is $9,999.99 — a premium that reflects the build quality, materials (including the 18K gold bead), and scarcity of the run.

For shooters and collectors who prioritize craftsmanship, limited production numbers, and match-grade 1911 performance, this release represents a rare opportunity. Check current availability on the shop page to secure one of these Federal 100th Anniversary pieces.
