Design and Construction
The TAC ULTRA CS is built on Rock Island Armory’s 4140 ordnance steel frame and slide with a carefully managed hand fitting process that maintains tight tolerances for reliable performance. The 3.50″ button-rifled barrel is supported by a full-length guide rod and a full dust cover, giving the pistol a solid lockup and consistent recoil characteristics despite its compact footprint. A tough parkerized matte finish and battle-ready G10 tactical grips provide a durable, low-glare exterior suited to operational use.
Sights, Controls, and Trigger
Sight package includes a low-profile adjustable rear sight paired with a high-visibility fiber optic front — an excellent combination for fast target acquisition in varied light. Controls are familiar to 1911 users, with a skeletonized hammer and trigger fitted with an adjustable over-travel stop. Factory trigger pull is crisp in the 4- to 6-pound range out of the box, favoring accurate follow-up shots.
