Cimarron Firearms 1911 A1 .45 ACP 5" 8-Round 1911 Pistol

The Cimarron 1911 A1 in .45 ACP with nickel finish is a historically accurate reproduction of the pistol that defined service sidearm standards for over seven decades. Built on the original 1911 frame with Type 1 smooth mainspring housing, this 5-inch barrel pistol delivers the proven ergonomics and stopping power that made the design legendary across military and law enforcement operations from World War I through the Cold War and beyond.

The 5-inch barrel provides optimal velocity development for the .45 ACP cartridge while maintaining a proportional sight radius for precision work at defensive distances. The nickel finish offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to parkerized or blued alternatives, a practical advantage for shooters who carry in high-humidity or salt-air environments. An 8-round magazine capacity is standard for this configuration. Cimarron engineers the correct historical markings into every example, making this platform equally suitable for serious shooters, historical enthusiasts, and competitive shooters who value authentic 1911 geometry. The firearm comes with a lifetime warranty and maintains full compatibility with original Colt-spec parts, enabling customization and maintenance using proven aftermarket support infrastructure.

This pistol serves operators, range competitors, and collectors who understand that the 1911 A1 remains fundamentally unchanged because the design solved core problems decades ago: single-action trigger performance, low bore axis recoil management, reliable feeding of defensive cartridges, and field-strippable simplicity. Whether configured for concealed carry, duty backup, range training, or precision competition, the Cimarron 1911 A1 .45 ACP represents accessible entry into the standard-setting platform.

The nickel finish distinguishes this example from traditional government blued variants, providing a distinct aesthetic alongside practical corrosion resistance. Combined with Colt-compatible parts interchangeability and lifetime warranty coverage, the Cimarron 1911 A1 delivers proven 1911 performance without compromise on authenticity or reliability standards that have defined the platform for over a century.
