Key Features
- Forged Steel Slide & Frame – Why it matters: A forged steel Government-length slide provides the durability and weight needed to soak up recoil from .45 ACP, keeping your sights on target for faster follow-ups.
- Colt 70 Series Internals – Why it matters: These proven components deliver a crisp, predictable trigger pull and reliable ignition, matching the feel of classic 1911s that shooters have trusted for decades.
- Two-Tone Cerakote Finish – Why it matters: The matte-and-gloss black finish resists holster wear, corrosion, and oil penetration while the engraved slide artwork adds a custom, hand-finished look without the custom price.
- Engraved Aluminum Grips – Why it matters: Lightweight and textured, these grips offer positive purchase in wet or gloved hands while the engraving reduces bulk and keeps the profile slim for concealed carry.
- 8+1 Capacity – Why it matters: You get a full magazine of .45 ACP plus one in the chamber, giving you nine rounds of proven defensive ammunition in a full-size platform.
Who It’s For
This pistol is built for shooters who want a classic 1911 Government model with modern manufacturing standards. It works for range practice, home defense, or as a foundation for custom builds. The two-tone finish and engraved details appeal to collectors, while the 70 Series internals satisfy purists who want a traditional trigger system.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Forged steel construction, reliable 70 Series internals, attractive Cerakote finish, hand-fitted details, affordable price point under $700.
- Cons: Hand-finished examples can show minor cosmetic variations from photos. The high-gloss slide may show fingerprints more than a matte-only finish. Some shooters prefer a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump — the B2 Stealth uses a standard GI-style grip safety.
