Iver Johnson Falcon Commander .45 ACP 8+1 4.25" Matte Blue

The Iver Johnson Falcon Commander delivers reliable .45 ACP performance in a full-size 1911 platform designed for serious shooters. This steel-framed pistol combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision to create a dependable sidearm for competition, duty, or personal protection.

What Makes This Different

The Falcon Commander features a fully machined steel construction throughout, from the matte blued slide to the solid steel frame with integral beavertail safety. Unlike polymer-framed alternatives, this all-steel design provides superior recoil management and enhanced accuracy potential. The serrated slide top reduces glare while providing positive grip during press checks, and the checkered double diamond walnut grips offer classic aesthetics with functional control.

Key Features

• Full-size steel frame with integral beavertail grip safety for enhanced control
• 4.25-inch black steel barrel optimized for .45 ACP ballistics

The 4.25-inch barrel length strikes an optimal balance between accuracy and maneuverability, making this pistol suitable for IDPA competition, law enforcement backup duty, or home defense applications. The all-steel construction dampens felt recoil significantly compared to lightweight alternatives, enabling faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during extended shooting sessions. Weather resistance comes from the matte blue finish, which provides protection against moisture and everyday handling.
