Handguns Descriptions

Colt 1911 O4691

This competition ready 45 ACP (also available in .38 Super & Carry Model) comes with a 3 hole aluminum trigger, S&A grip safety, custom tuned action, polished feed ramp, throated barrel, flared ejection port, enhanced hammer, two 8-round magazines with bumpers, extended thumb safety, Bomar rear and Heinie dovetail front sight, and S&A magazine guide. Fully accurized and shipped with a certified target attesting to its exceptional precision. TheĀ 1911 is a single action, semi-automatic, magazine fed, recoil operated pistol chambered for the potent .45ACP cartridge. It had previously served as the standard issue sidearm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 through 1986. As a hybrid, the Colt 1991 is a direct descendant of the U.S. military M1911 and similarly shares several of the same characteristics such as a long trigger, flat mainspring housing and recoil spring system. Upgrades from the original Mil-Spec pistol include 3- dot white sights, modified grip safety and ejection port. When the gun was first introduced back in the year 1991, Colt recognized that the market was already awash in custom 1911 pistols. For the discerning shooter looking for a high quality Mil-Spec style 1911, there were not many good options. The Colt Model 1991 was therefore conceived to remain true to its roots and reasonably faithful to the original design.

Glock 23

The G17 Gen5 features a no finger grooved, multiple backstrapped, rough textured frame with hundreds of miniature spikes which results in remarkable traction for extreme environments and gloved operators. The frame also features a smooth trigger, reversible mag release, and ambidextrous slide stop. The magazine comes with a floor plate which is extended at the front for faster magazine change, and a orange follower, while the flared mag-well makes it easier to funnel the magazine into the mag-well. Glock\'s nDLC finish provides a tougher, more durable protection against corrosion and scratching. The Glock Marksman barrel features a barrel rifling which delivers improved accuracy. his Glock Gen5 model has AmeriGlo night sights (green with orange outline front and green rear) and a 10-round capacity.
