Availability: In Stock
The Rock Island Armory USA 1911 A2 Tac Ultra is a modern take on the timeless 1911 platform, chambered in 9mm Luger and built for shooters who want reliable, accurate firepower in a proven design. This semi-automatic pistol combines the ergonomic familiarity and handling of the classic 1911 with practical upgrades for contemporary duty and sport shooting. With a 5-inch barrel and compact dimensions, it balances controlability with enough sight radius for precision work at distance.
The 16-round magazine capacity gives you more rounds downrange between reloads than traditional single-stack 1911s—a real advantage whether you're at the range, in a defensive scenario, or running competition drills. The Novak front sight and LPA rear sight are solid, straightforward sighting solutions that work. A 4–6 pound trigger pull keeps things crisp without being hair-trigger sensitive. At 2.5 pounds, it carries without fatigue.
Rock Island Armory's USA-made 1911s have earned a reputation for honest performance and value. This Tac Ultra model delivers that reliability in a format that appeals to shooters comfortable with traditional 1911 operation but wanting modern capacity and handling. Whether you're a 1911 purist exploring 9mm, a practical shooter building a duty gun, or someone who values American manufacturing, the A2 Tac Ultra is worth a serious look.

The Rock Island Armory USA 1911 A2 Tac Ultra holds 16 rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber (16+1), which is significantly more than traditional single-stack 1911s. It achieves this while maintaining the classic 1911 ergonomics and controls.
The gun ships with a Novak front sight and an LPA rear sight—both straightforward, non-adjustable options that provide reliable target acquisition for duty, sport, and defensive use.
At 5.77 inches tall, 1.43 inches wide, and 2.5 pounds, it's a compact 1911 that can work for concealed carry depending on your holster, clothing, and personal preference. It's smaller and lighter than many modern polymer handguns, though capacity and trigger characteristics are factors to consider alongside size.
The factory trigger pull ranges from 4 to 6 pounds, giving you a crisp, manageable break without being overly light or unpredictable. It's consistent with proven 1911 trigger geometry and suits general shooting, training, and sport applications.
