This Rock Island Armory GI Standard is a full-size semi-auto handgun and copy of the original U.S. GI combat issue 1911. It boasts a steel frame, parkerized finish, a non-reflective surface, and smooth wood grips. The slim design makes for unrestricted unholstering and re-holstering. Like all Rock Island 1911s, the GI Standard offers a crisp trigger pull, while the balanced weight of the barrel assists in accuracy and reduced recoil.
