Rock Island has spent years building a following among shooters who want a real forged-steel 1911 in .45 ACP without boutique-shop pretension. The Rock FS Tactical is the full-size 5-inch version with the upgrades most people add anyway: an extended ambidextrous thumb safety, beavertail grip safety, skeletonized hammer and trigger, and improved combat sights. It is a heavy, honest gun that soaks up .45 recoil and runs the way a Government-pattern 1911 should. Popular as a range gun, a home-defense pistol and a starting point for anyone who likes to tinker with the platform.
