Seller Description For This Firearm
Rock Island Armory 1911 A2 – .45 ACP
The Rock Island Armory 1911 A2 chambered in .45 ACP is a full-size semi-automatic pistol that modernizes the traditional 1911 platform with increased magazine capacity and updated ergonomics. Built with an emphasis on durability and practical performance, the 1911 A2 maintains classic single-action operation while incorporating a double-stack frame design.
Constructed with a steel frame and slide, the 1911 A2 offers solid weight for recoil management and consistent shot control. The single-action trigger provides a clean and predictable break, supporting accurate follow-up shots. Chambered in .45 ACP, the pistol delivers established ballistic performance paired with the controlled recoil characteristics typical of an all-steel 1911-style handgun.
The double-stack magazine design increases ammunition capacity beyond traditional single-stack models while retaining familiar 1911 controls, including a frame-mounted thumb safety and grip safety. Fixed or upgraded sight configurations are common depending on the specific variant. The 1911 A2 balances traditional styling with enhanced capacity, making it suitable for range use, competition entry-level applications, or defensive roles where permitted.

Seller Q&A
WARNING
Why Buy from Guns.com?
PEACE OF MIND
Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
