The new 1911 features a 5.75-inch threaded stainless steel barrel (.578×28 threading) with a black DLC coating, and it ships with a knurled thread protector. The pistols also utilize the Agency Optic System (AOS) for mounting red dot sights. The system uses optic plates, making it compatible with RMR, Shield, Delta Point Pro and Docter footprints, but the plates must be purchased separately. 1911 Operator AOS Threaded buyers will be able to purchase a plate at a discounted price of $49. Naturally, the pistols have a Picatinny accessory rail on their dustcovers as well. Other features include tritium front sights, ambidextrous safeties and G10 VZ grips.
