The SDS Imports 1911 Duty B45RDG-TH delivers proven 1911 reliability in a modern duty-ready package. This full-size 45 ACP pistol combines traditional single-action performance with contemporary tactical enhancements, offering shooters a dependable platform for serious applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic 1911 models, this duty variant incorporates tactical rail integration and enhanced grip texturing for modern accessories and improved weapon retention. The FDE (Flat Dark Earth) finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, while maintaining the classic 1911 profile. Factory specifications include match-grade barrel tolerances and improved trigger components that deliver consistent 4-5 pound pull weights.

Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling with standard 230-grain ball ammunition and premium hollow points. The 5-inch barrel configuration excels in precision shooting applications, delivering sub-3-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. Law enforcement and competitive shooters appreciate the consistent trigger break and minimal muzzle flip during rapid strings. The tactical rail accommodates weapon lights and laser systems without affecting holster compatibility with most duty rigs.
