This is one of the products you run into in life where you say this can not be. Girsan took their MC1911S Match and brought the finish up two levels, had the master engravers hand engrave the slide and frame, moved the markings to the perimeter of the pistol profile for a cleaner look, hard black chrome the slide and frame to give you a deep dark consistent color, added a custom leather lockable carry case and then added Ivory Lite grips. MC1911S Lux gives you a work of art in a traditional 1911 configuration.

The 45 ACP (45 Auto) was designed by John Browning in 1905 for his prototype semiautomatic pistol that eventually became the legendary Colt 1911, using a .452-inch bullet. Browning proposed a 200-grain bullet; U.S. Army Ordnance, smarting from reports of poor performance of the 38 Long Colt in the Philippines, increased bullet weight to 230 grains for greater stopping power...and the 45 ACP as it is today was adopted in 1911. It remains an iconic and popular handgun cartridge for personal defense and competition, and was used by the U.S. military in submachine guns (Thompson and M3) through the 1970s. Although largely replaced by the 9mm for military use and the 9mm and/or 40 S&W in the law enforcement community, the 45 ACP is still used by the U.S. military and numerous law enforcement agencies in various applications. The standard load remains a 230-grain bullet at 780 to 850 fps, but lighter, faster bullets from 165 to 200 grain, delivering a bit less recoil, are also available. — Craig Boddington
