The Rock Island Armory TAC Ultra FS delivers serious 10mm Auto performance in a full-size 1911 platform built for demanding applications. This pistol combines proven 1911 reliability with modern tactical enhancements that address the limitations of traditional designs.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 1911 models, the TAC Ultra FS features an integrated Picatinny rail system and beavertail grip safety for enhanced control and accessory mounting. The black Parkerized finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to basic bluing, while the serrated slide reduces glare and improves grip during malfunction drills. The G10 grips offer consistent texture in wet conditions where traditional wood grips become slippery.
Key Features
- 10mm Auto chambering delivers 40% more energy than .45 ACP for maximum stopping power
- 5-inch barrel length optimizes velocity and accuracy for the 10mm cartridge
- Black Parkerized steel finish resists corrosion in harsh environments
- Integrated Picatinny rail accepts tactical lights and laser systems
- Beavertail grip safety prevents hammer bite during rapid fire
- Black and gray G10 grips provide secure hold in all weather conditions
- Serrated slide top reduces glare and aids in press checks
The 10mm Auto cartridge excels in roles where maximum terminal performance is required, from hunting large game to law enforcement applications. The 5-inch barrel extracts full velocity potential from heavy 10mm loads, while the steel frame absorbs recoil effectively. Weather-resistant Parkerized finish maintains function in rain, snow, and humid conditions where other finishes fail.
