Auto Ordnance 1911 Tanker .45ACP Pistol, 5″ Barrel, Cerakote, 7-Round

Product Description

The Auto Ordnance 1911 Tanker is a full-size .45ACP semi-auto pistol with a 5″ barrel and a 7-round capacity. It is a straightforward single-caliber handgun for people who like the classic .45 format.

The frame is stainless steel, and the slide wears a Cerakote finish. Overall length is 8.50″, and the pistol weighs 39 oz. That is a solid, full-size handgun with some heft, which many shooters like for managing .45ACP recoil.

Sights and controls

The sights are fixed, so there is nothing to adjust or knock out of position. A manual safety is fitted. Both choices keep the layout simple and familiar for anyone who has handled a 1911 before.

This pistol fits a shooter who wants a no-frills .45ACP for the range, for practice, or for a collection. It also works for someone picking up a first 1911-style pistol.

Plan on a few accessories to go with it. A good belt holster sized for a full-size 5″ pistol is a start. Extra 7-round magazines make range days easier. Add a padded range bag, eye and ear protection, and a supply of .45ACP ammunition. A cleaning kit is worth having, too.
