EAA imports Girsan-built 1911s, and the MC1911 has earned a following among shooters who want a full-size steel .45 with real features rather than a bare-bones parts gun. This one runs a 5-inch government-length barrel with a multicolor PVD finish, a hard, corrosion-resistant treatment applied at the surface level rather than a coating that wears through.

Expect the modern 1911 feature set the platform's shooters expect: a skeletonized trigger and hammer, an extended beavertail grip safety and dovetailed sights. The .45 ACP in an all-steel 1911 remains one of the softest-shooting big-bore combinations available.
