Savage 1911 Overview

In 2022, Savage re-entered the handgun market with the Stance 9mm pistol. This year, they’re taking on the classic 1911. Savage is coming out swinging, offering their new 1911 pistols in six different color/finish variations, and two different calibers (.45 ACP and 9mm). Each color variation is available with or without an accessory rail. These new handguns have a capacity of 8+1 and 10+1 rounds in .45 and 9mm respectively.

The Savage 1911’s may have different finish color options, but they all feature forged stainless-steel frames and slides, and 5-inch stainless barrels. The pistols have machined tool steel sears and disconnectors, and stainless-steel hammers. They feature a dual recoil spring with GI-style guide rods and barrel bushings. On the exterior, they are sleek-looking with front and rear cocking serrations, Novak low-mount rear sights, and white-dot front sights. Variations with tritium night sights are available too. They have G10 grip scales, a machined texture backstrap and are smooth on the front of the grip. These 1911’s  have ambidextrous safety levers and  good shooters.
