Overview
Built for shooters who value classic design and a substantial feel, this single-action semi-automatic pistol is chambered in .45 ACP and offered with magazine options from 10 rounds up to 100-round drums. Its historical styling draws from original designs dating back to 1919, giving it a distinctly traditional character rather than a modern tactical profile. The lightweight configuration pairs a 10.5 aluminum barrel with walnut horizontal foregrip and pistol grip, while the overall package comes in at just under six pounds before the magazine is added. It suits collectors and range use where appearance, heritage, and handling are part of the appeal.

- Magazine capacity varies from 10-round magazines to 100-round drums, so the configuration you choose will affect handling and intended use.
- The 10.5-inch aluminum barrel and walnut foregrip/pistol grip give it a distinctive traditional setup, but that also means it is not a minimalist or compact pistol.
- Listed weight is just under six pounds without the magazine, so the final carry weight will depend on the magazine selected.
