A Modern Evolution of an American Classic

The 1911 semi-automatic pistol has proven itself across more than a century of service. Savage brings this legendary design into the modern era with a purpose-built handgun that honors tradition while delivering contemporary performance.

Construction and Materials

The Savage 1911 is built from forged stainless steel throughout, with a 5-inch barrel machined from billet steel and crowned to 11 degrees for precision accuracy. The dual recoil spring system uses a GI-style guide rod and barrel bushing—proven components that enhance reliability under demanding conditions.

Precision and Reliability

  • Nitride-coated titanium firing pin resists wear and corrosion
  • Fully machined tool steel sear and disconnector ensure crisp, consistent trigger performance
  • Lowered, flared ejection port optimized for reliable live round ejection
  • Target-crowned barrel delivers the accuracy serious shooters demand

Ergonomics and Control

Novak Lo-Mount rear sight with white dot front sight provides a clean sight picture. The ambidextrous slide lock safety accommodates both right and left-handed shooters. VZ G10 grips offer excellent purchase in all conditions.

The Bottom Line

This is a 1911 built for hard use—one that respects the design's heritage while meeting the standards of modern shooting sports and personal defense.
