Rock Island's M1911-A1 GI is the honest GI-pattern 1911 - forged frame and slide, Series 70-style simplicity, and the traditional small sights and arched mainspring housing that make it feel like the guns that went to war. This one is finished in polished nickel with wood grips, chambered in .45 ACP with a 5-inch barrel. Polished nickel was the classic dress finish for a service pistol, and it is also genuinely practical: it resists corrosion well and cleans up easily. Underneath the finish it is a standard full-size 1911, which means the enormous aftermarket of sights, grips, triggers, and small parts is available to you.
