A compact, semi-auto handgun chambered in 45 ACP, this Rock Island Armory M1911A1 CS is built on the traditional 70-series design. It is born of high-quality production and exacting engineering standards. This pistol features double-diamond checkered grips for a firm grasp, a skeletonized hammer and trigger, and steel construction with a parkerized finish. The smooth angles and snag-free design of this gun make it well-suited as a self-defense sidearm.
