Description
Auto-Ordnance has been tied to American firearms history since the Tommy Gun days, and their stainless 1911 keeps that tradition going in a big way. The 1911TCAC6 is built on a stainless steel frame and slide, machined from solid bar stock with the slide, sear, and disconnector all heat-treated for long-term durability. The whole thing is finished in Savage Silver Cerakote, which gives it a clean, slightly muted silver look while adding real corrosion resistance over bare stainless. It's a sharp-looking pistol that doesn't feel like it's trying too hard.
What Makes the Auto-Ordnance 1911TCAC6 Stand Out
This isn't a stripped-down GI clone. Auto-Ordnance loaded the 1911TCAC6 with upgrades that make a genuine difference in how the gun shoots and handles. The adjustable trigger lets you dial in your break, the skeletonized hammer reduces lock time, and the full-length recoil guide rod smooths out the cycling and makes the gun feel more planted under recoil. The extended beavertail grip safety is a welcome addition for anyone who has ever gotten bit by a standard 1911 tang, and the extended magazine release makes dropping the mag fast and natural. Both the mainspring housing and front strap are checkered at 20 lines per inch, which gives you a solid, confident grip whether your hands are dry or not. The slide also features front and rear cocking serrations along with decorative slide cuts.
The 1911TCAC6 at the Range
Chamber it in .45 ACP with a 5-inch match-grade barrel and you've got a setup that rewards good fundamentals. The longer sight radius of the full-size Government Model frame makes it easier to shoot accurately at distance, and the combat 3-dot day sights give you a clear, fast picture. At 39 ounces, it has enough weight to soak up recoil without being punishing. Gray G10 grips round out the package with a grippy texture that holds up over long range sessions. If you're after a full-size 1911 with genuine upgrades and American manufacturing behind it, the 1911TCAC6 is a hard pistol to overlook.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grips come on the Auto-Ordnance 1911TCAC6?
The 1911TCAC6 ships with gray G10 grips. G10 is a fiberglass-based material that holds up extremely well over time and provides a consistently grippy texture without being abrasive on your hands or clothing.
Does this 1911 have front and rear slide serrations?
Yes, the slide on the 1911TCAC6 features both front and rear cocking serrations along with decorative slide cuts. The front serrations are particularly handy if you prefer press-checks or a support-hand rack during malfunction drills.
How does Cerakote hold up compared to bare stainless steel?
Cerakote is a polymer-ceramic coating that adds a layer of corrosion and wear resistance on top of the already-durable stainless steel construction. It also gives the Savage Silver finish a more uniform, consistent look versus the natural variation you see in polished or brushed stainless. For a range gun or carry pistol, it's a practical upgrade.
Is the trigger on the 1911TCAC6 adjustable?
Yes, Auto-Ordnance includes an adjustable trigger on this model. This lets you fine-tune the amount of overtravel, which is a feature you typically pay more for on custom or semi-custom 1911 builds. Combined with the skeletonized hammer and full-length recoil guide rod, the trigger system is notably upgraded over a standard GI-spec 1911.
What is the magazine capacity and how many magazines are included?
The 1911TCAC6 holds 7 rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber for a total of 7+1. The pistol ships with one 7-round stainless steel magazine. Standard 1911 .45 ACP magazines from most major manufacturers will also be compatible.
Is the Auto-Ordnance 1911TCAC6 made in the USA?
Yes, this pistol is 100% manufactured in the United States. Auto-Ordnance is a brand under Kahr Arms, and these 1911s are built domestically using American materials and manufacturing processes.
