Auto Ordnance
The Auto Ordnance Army 250th Special Edition is a commemorative M1911A1-style pistol in .45 ACP, built to honor 250 years of American Army service. This isn't just another 1911—it's a purposeful tribute piece that pairs historical significance with practical shooting credentials. If you appreciate classic American firearms, value craftsmanship, or want a handgun with genuine meaning behind its design, this special edition delivers on all fronts.
What sets this pistol apart is its striking two-tone Cerakote finish: OD Green on the slide and Coyote Tan on the frame, with Black Oxide controls for contrast. The engraved wood grips reinforce the commemorative character without sacrificing grip texture or control. At 5 inches, the barrel keeps this a handy defensive or range gun—short enough for carry or nightstand duty, long enough for reliable .45 ACP ballistics. Weighing 2.3 pounds, it handles like a proper 1911 should: balanced, pointable, and not so heavy that all-day carry becomes a burden.
The sights are classic 1911: a blade front and drift-adjustable rear for windage, giving you the fundamentals to shoot accurately without needing a red dot. The 7-round magazine is standard capacity for a Government-frame 1911, and the gun ships with one. This is a firearm that respects tradition—no unnecessary tack-ons, no marketing gimmicks, just solid engineering honoring a solid legacy.

This Auto Ordnance is a commemorative piece created to honor the 250th anniversary of the Army's founding in 1775. The special edition includes engraved wood grips and a distinctive two-tone Cerakote finish (OD Green and Coyote Tan) that sets it apart visually. Beyond the commemorative styling, it's a fully functional Government-frame 1911 in .45 ACP, built to shoot as well as any standard Auto Ordnance—the special designation reflects its purpose, not a compromise in reliability.
Yes. The 5-inch barrel and 8.6-inch overall length keep it compact enough for practical carry or bedside use. At 2.3 pounds, it's light enough for all-day carry without becoming a chore. The .45 ACP chambering and 7-round magazine give you a proven defensive cartridge with respectable capacity. The sights are basic but functional—blade front and drift-adjustable rear—so you can shoot accurately at defensive distances right out of the box.
The Auto Ordnance 250th Special Edition comes with one 7-round magazine. No extra mags or accessories are noted as included—plan accordingly if you want backup magazines or a holster.
The rear sight is drift-adjustable for windage. This is a classic 1911 setup—you'll need a sight adjustment tool or punch to drift the rear sight left or right to zero your gun for your preferred load and shooting distance. The front sight is fixed, so all elevation changes come through your shooting technique or holster choice.
