Product Description
"Built like a tank" is a phrase that has entered the American lexicon as
a means to describe hardware that is durable, strong, and nearly
indestructible. The term may have originated in describing armored
fighting vehicles, but it also clearly describes the 1911. It is only
fitting then that Auto-Ordnance continue the series of WWII
commemorative guns with the "Tanker 1911", dedicated to the memory of
the brave American soldiers who faced the enemy in steel chariots like
the M4 Sherman Tank.
Each Tanker 1911 slide and frame are Cerakoted
in Army O.D. Green. The iconic white star of the Sherman Tank is
engraved on the slide and frame, adding a touch of historical character.
The "U.S" logo is engraved on the beautiful, checkered wood grips,
providing a natural and elegant look. This all steel, GI style 1911
features a 5" barrel, chambered in .45 ACP. Sights, trigger, grip
safety, and controls are the classic GI pattern. One seven round
magazine is included.
Owning the Tanker 1911 gives the modern shooter
the opportunity to own a piece of history, while honoring the memory of
the brave tank crews who delivered on America's promise to achieve
final victory in World War II.
