Auto-Ordnance 1911 Founding Fathers Features The Auto-Ordnance 1911 Founding Fathers is built on the reliable 1911A1 platform in .45 ACP pairing single-action reliability with a thumb safety and grip safety so the classic controls feel exactly as a 1911 should. A TruGlo white 3-dot sight system rides on the slide for fast repeatable sight acquisition and the checkered frontstrap improves grip purchase under recoil. Each pistol is a hand-finished commemorative piece so the distressed flag application and engraving work carry natural variation from gun to gun making every example a unique collectible. Built by Auto-Ordnance with a stainless steel slide and steel frame the pistol balances historical tribute with genuine shooting-grade construction. The custom engraved aluminum grips are the centerpiece of the package depicting the Liberty Bell and a bald eagle over the text of the Declaration of Independence while the slide s engravings of the Declaration signing and Washington leading his troops turn the exterior into a narrative of the founding era. At 2.3 lbs unloaded and an 8.6 overall length the pistol handles like a standard full-size 1911 despite its ornate finish work. It ships with one 7-round magazine in a branded case ready to display or carry. For collectors marking America s 250th anniversary this Founding Fathers 1911 delivers a piece of wearable history built on a dependable shooting platform.
