The TriStar American Classic Government 1911 in .38 Super delivers enhanced velocity and flatter trajectory compared to standard .45 ACP variants. This full-size pistol combines traditional 1911 craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision for competitive shooting and personal defense applications.
What Makes This Different
The .38 Super chambering provides approximately 200 fps higher velocity than .45 ACP while maintaining manageable recoil in the proven 1911 platform. The stainless steel barrel offers superior corrosion resistance and consistent accuracy over extended firing sessions. Unlike polymer-framed alternatives, the all-steel construction provides natural recoil absorption and enhanced durability for high-round-count training.Key Features
