The Diamondback DB1911SS Limited Edition delivers precision-grade performance in a full-size 1911 platform engineered for serious shooters. This stainless steel variant combines match-grade accuracy with enhanced reliability features that set it apart from standard production pistols.
What Makes This Different
The DB1911SS features a match-grade 5-inch barrel with precision rifling that delivers consistent accuracy shot after shot. The ported slide design reduces muzzle flip by approximately 15% compared to non-ported variants, enabling faster follow-up shots. Premium G10 grips provide superior texture and moisture resistance over traditional wood or polymer alternatives, while the extended beavertail grip safety ensures consistent hand placement and enhanced control.
