Key Features

- KimPro II Finish — The two-tone coating resists corrosion and wear, so your sidearm looks sharp even after years of holster wear.
- Low-Profile Tritium Night Sights — These self-illuminating sights let you acquire your target quickly in low light, which matters when the sun goes down on a late dove hunt.
- Ambidextrous Thumb Safety — Left- and right-handed shooters can engage the safety without shifting grip, a thoughtful touch for a carry gun.
- Premium Aluminum Trigger — The crisp, consistent pull helps you place shots where you aim, shot after shot.
Who It’s For
This pistol is for the southern gentleman who values a slim, concealable 1911 in a proven caliber. Whether you’re tucking it under a vest after a morning dove hunt or carrying it on the farm, the Ultra CDP fits a traditionalist’s hand and a practical shooter’s budget.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Compact enough for deep concealment but still shoots a full-power .45 ACP round.
- Pro: Two-tone KimPro II finish stands up to humidity and sweat from a day in the field.
- Con: The 3-inch barrel reduces velocity slightly compared to a full-size 1911, and the shorter sight radius demands more practice for precision shooting.
