The Auto-Ordnance G57S 1911 delivers classic American pistol design with modern 9mm efficiency in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel package. This full-size 1911 combines the proven single-action trigger system with reduced recoil and higher capacity compared to traditional .45 ACP variants.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard blued 1911 models, the G57S features complete stainless steel construction that resists corrosion and maintains its appearance through heavy use. The 9mm chambering provides flatter shooting characteristics and lower ammunition costs while maintaining the crisp trigger pull and manual safety features that define the 1911 platform. Factory specifications include a 5-inch barrel for full ballistic performance and consistent accuracy.
Key Features
- Stainless steel frame and slide construction for maximum corrosion resistance
- 9mm Luger chambering with 9+1 round capacity
- 5-inch barrel length for optimal velocity and accuracy
- Single-action trigger with manual thumb safety and grip safety
- Fixed front and rear sights with traditional three-dot configuration
- Checkered wood grips for secure handling in all conditions
- Standard 1911 dimensions compatible with existing holsters and accessories
The 9mm chambering reduces felt recoil compared to .45 ACP variants while maintaining stopping power, making it suitable for competitive shooting, range training, and personal defense applications. The stainless steel construction eliminates concerns about humidity and environmental exposure that can affect blued finishes. Factory testing demonstrates consistent accuracy with quality ammunition, and the proven 1911 action cycles reliably with a wide range of bullet weights from 115 to 147 grains.
