Smith & Wesson SW1911TA .45 ACP 5″ Stainless Steel Single Action Pistol with Tritium Night Sights

The Smith & Wesson SW1911TA delivers a full-size, government-profile 1911 chambered in .45 ACP with the fit, finish, and features serious shooters demand. Built on a stainless steel frame with a serrated slide and beavertail grip safety, this E-Series pistol is equally at home as a duty sidearm, home defense handgun, or range workhorse. Tritium night sights front and rear ensure target acquisition in any lighting condition, making this a purpose-built tool rather than a shelf piece.
