Every firearm fan knows that the 1911 is one of the most revered firearms in human history. For that reason it's still being made to this day all over the globe. TriStar Arms brings a modern interpretation of the legendary 1911 to the market by way of the American Classic 1911. These pistols feature the same mil-spec look of the original pistol with mil-spec sights and hammer. The steel frame slide and barrel create a pistol that is weighty enough to be very easy to shoot with minimal recoil. A set of custom hardwood grips allow for a comfortable non-slip grip. Many new production 1911s feature a whole host of modern upgraded features but if you would prefer to have a pistol more like the classic sidearms of World War I and World War II pick up a TriStar American Classic and hit the range like a doughboy!
