Auto-Ordnance teamed up with the custom shop at Altered Arsenal to build this one, and the result is a tribute piece that actually earns the word. Released for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army's founding on June 14, 1775, this M1911A1 wears a two-tone Cerakote treatment with an OD Green slide over a Coyote Tan frame, set off by black controls. The slide carries ARMY on the left side and United States with a gold anniversary banner on the right, and the top of the slide gets a CNC-engraved pattern styled after the Army dress uniform, right down to the gold buttons. The hardwood grips tie the whole story together, with a Revolutionary War soldier engraved on one panel and a modern soldier on the other.
Underneath the artwork is Auto-Ordnance's proven Government-size 1911. You get a 5-inch stainless steel barrel, single-action trigger, GI-profile slide with rear serrations, and a blade front sight paired with a drift-adjustable rear. The grip and thumb safeties work the way John Browning intended, and a firing pin block adds an extra layer of drop protection. At 39 ounces of all-steel construction, it soaks up .45 ACP recoil the way a full-size 1911 should. One 7-round magazine comes in the box, and it feeds from standard single-stack 1911 mags, so spares are easy to come by.
Worth knowing before you buy: the engraving and finish work is done by hand, so no two of these pistols come out exactly alike. Small variations in color and detail are part of the deal, and frankly part of the appeal. Whether it ends up in a display case next to a shadow box, gifted to a soldier or veteran in your life, or run at the range on Saturday mornings, this is one of the more thoughtfully executed commemorative 1911s we've seen, and a natural fit for anyone who collects military-themed pieces or just appreciates the Army's two and a half centuries of history.
It's both. Under the commemorative finish work is Auto-Ordnance's standard Government-size M1911A1 with a 5-inch stainless barrel and single-action trigger. Plenty of buyers pick these up purely for display, but it's built to be shot if that's what you want to do with it.
The left side of the slide reads ARMY and the right side carries United States with a gold 250th anniversary banner. The top of the slide features a CNC-engraved design modeled after the Army dress uniform, complete with gold button accents. The hardwood grips show a Revolutionary War-era soldier on one panel and a modern soldier on the other, bridging 250 years of service.
Yes. It feeds from standard single-stack .45 ACP 1911 magazines, so finding extra mags is simple and affordable. One 7-round magazine ships with the gun.
Not quite. The engraving and Cerakote work is applied by hand through Auto-Ordnance's partnership with Altered Arsenal, so each pistol has slight variations in color and detail. No two come out identical, which is a big part of what makes these appealing to collectors.
Yes, this 1911 includes a firing pin block in addition to the traditional grip safety and manual thumb safety. That gives you added drop protection on top of the classic 1911 control layout.
The rear sight is drift adjustable for windage, paired with a fixed GI-style blade up front. It keeps the classic M1911A1 profile, so don't expect modern target sights. For a commemorative Government model, that period-correct setup is exactly what most buyers are after.
