Rock Island Armory Gi Std 38sup 5" 9-Round 1911 Pistol

The Rock Island Armory GI Standard .38 Super 5" 1911 pistol is designed for defensive and competitive shooters, offering classic 1911 ergonomics and proven reliability in a full-size platform. This semi-automatic single-action pistol chambers the potent .38 Super cartridge, which provides superior velocity and a flatter trajectory compared to standard 9mm loads while maintaining the control and pointability of John Browning's iconic design.

Constructed on a full-size steel frame with a 5-inch barrel, this GI Standard variant features a single-stack magazine configuration with a total capacity of 9 rounds (8 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber). The steel construction aids in recoil management, reducing muzzle rise and allowing for faster follow-up shots, which are critical in dynamic shooting scenarios. The GI-pattern sights facilitate quick target acquisition, while the trigger geometry inherent to the 1911 platform ensures a clean, predictable break essential for precision shooting.

This model is well-suited for competitive shooters in IPSC and action pistol divisions, as well as those seeking a reliable firearm for duty and sport shooting applications. Its design and features make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their shooting experience with a classic 1911 platform.
