The Standard Manufacturing 1911CC delivers classic 1911 performance with distinctive case-colored finishing that sets it apart from standard blued models. This full-size .45 ACP pistol combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision for reliable service across multiple applications.
What Makes This Different
The case-colored frame and slide provide enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing while creating a unique appearance that develops character over time. Standard Manufacturing applies traditional bone and charcoal case hardening processes that penetrate deeper than surface treatments. The 5-inch barrel delivers maximum velocity from .45 ACP ammunition while maintaining the classic Government Model proportions that define the 1911 platform.
