Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some 1911s are built to disappear into a holster. This one is built to turn heads. The Dickinson Adam 1911 Rainbow wears a polished rainbow PVD finish over both the slide and frame, and the color genuinely shifts as you rotate the gun under light, rolling through blues, purples, golds, and greens. It sits in the premium tier of Dickinson's Adam series, where the finishes get fancy but the bones stay the same: a full size 45 ACP with a 5 inch barrel and 8+1 capacity, running the single action trigger that made the 1911 platform famous in the first place.
Dickinson builds the Adam line around hot forged steel for the frame and barrel, with slides machined on CNC equipment to keep dimensions tight from gun to gun. That shows up in the fit. Reviewers of the Adam series consistently point out how snug the slide to frame lockup is, with none of the rattle you sometimes get from budget priced 1911s. The B pattern serrations are cut into the slide for solid purchase when racking or doing a press check, and the beavertail grip safety gives you a comfortable, high grip without hammer bite. A thumb safety rounds out the traditional 1911 control layout, so anyone who has run this platform before will feel right at home.
At full size and all steel, this pistol has enough heft to soak up 45 ACP recoil, which makes range sessions more pleasant than the caliber's reputation might suggest. The Adam series has earned a following for shooting soft and smooth, and the single action trigger breaks the way a 1911 trigger should. Feed it standard 1911 pattern 45 ACP magazines and it just works. Realistically, most folks are buying this one as a range gun, a collection piece, or a conversation starter that also happens to shoot straight, and it fills all three roles well. Keep it oiled like any tightly fitted 1911 and it will reward you every time you bring it out.
Yes, that is the whole appeal. The polished rainbow PVD coating shifts through different colors depending on the angle you view it from and how the light hits it. PVD is also a durable, hard coating, so it holds up better than a simple paint or anodized treatment.
It is. You get the classic single action only trigger, a thumb safety, and a beavertail grip safety, so the manual of arms is identical to any traditional 1911. If you have run a Government-size 1911 before, this one will feel immediately familiar in the hand.
The Adam series is manufactured in Turkey and imported by Dickinson, a brand associated with Breda/Dickinson here in the States. The frames and barrels are hot forged steel and the slides are CNC machined, and the series has picked up solid reviews for tight slide to frame fit at its price point.
Yes. It is a full size 45 ACP built on the standard 1911 pattern, so common single stack 1911 45 ACP magazines will run in it. The pistol ships with an 8-round magazine for an 8+1 total capacity.
