Rock Island Armory 51679 Tac Ultra 5" 18-Round 1911 Pistol

The Rock Island 51679 Tac Ultra FSHC 9mm Luger semi-automatic pistol represents a modern tactical 1911 purpose-built for duty, training, and competition use. Designed for operators who demand reliability, capacity, and modularity in a proven platform, this full-size pistol bridges the gap between classic 1911 ergonomics and contemporary tactical requirements. The 17+1 round capacity in 9mm delivers more on-target firepower than traditional .45 ACP variants, making it ideal for extended engagements where reload speed matters.

Built on Armscor's proven Tac series platform, this model features a 5-inch barrel with a full-length Picatinny rail mounted to the frame, enabling rapid attachment of tactical lights, lasers, or other force multipliers without rail height concerns. The parkerized steel construction provides durable corrosion resistance suitable for field conditions, while the serrated slide improves weapon control and grip purchase during dynamic manipulation. A beavertail frame design reduces hammer bite, and the black G10 grip scales offer superior texture retention in wet or gloved conditions—critical for duty or tactical training scenarios where environmental factors compromise weapon handling.

Law enforcement instructors, military personnel, and serious civilian practitioners benefit most from this platform's capacity advantages and rail-mounted accessory compatibility. The pistol integrates seamlessly with standard 1911 holsters and magazine pouches, while the frame-mounted rail accepts industry-standard attachments without modification. Weighing 4.38 lbs unloaded, the Tac Ultra FSHC maintains balance and pointability essential for extended shoot-houses or tactical courses. Whether for duty carry, home defense with mounted illumination, or competition environments, this Armscor design delivers the modularity and firepower modern tactical shooting demands.
