Detailed Features

The .38 Super cartridge hits harder than 9mm while staying in a 1911 frame that most shooters find natural. The 9+1 capacity is a round more than the typical .45 ACP 1911. The black steel frame and chrome slide create a two-tone appearance, and the serrated slide makes racking easier. Wood grips improve aesthetics and give a traditional feel. Both safety mechanisms work as expected on a standard 1911 platform.

Mil-spec sights are serviceable for most uses, though competitive shooters may want to upgrade them.
