The Auto Ordnance 1911 Memphis Belle brings authentic WWII heritage to modern shooters with period-correct markings and olive drab green Cerakote finish. This commemorative .45 ACP pistol honors the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress while delivering the proven reliability of the classic 1911 platform.
