The Standard Manufacturing 1911 HPX with Match Grade Barrel

Standard Manufacturing has a penchant for innovation, like its Switch Gun or the Jackhammer. But sometimes, the company also has to take time from innovating to focus on familiar and iconic platforms. Such is the case with the 1911 HPX, a tactical-based 1911 from the brain trust at Standard Manufacturing.

The Standard Manufacturing 1911 HPX

Constructed of 4140 carbon steel, CNC machined from forgings, the frame and slide promise durability and longevity. Likewise, the satin non-gloss finish on all parts adds to the lifespan while preventing glare. Additionally, each slide is hand-lapped to the frame, ensuring the perfect fit and smooth action.

The slide features deep forward and rear cocking serrations for enhanced slide manipulation and press checks. Riding atop the slide are high-profile, low-mount Novac-style 3-dot dovetail sights. In addition, the lowered and flared ejection port provides for reliable operation and malfunction clearing.

Housed within the slide is the 5-inch stainless-steel, match-grade barrel hand-lapped into the slide, with corresponding match bushing. Chambered in .45 ACP, rounds are sent downrange via a medium, solid match-grade trigger with a 4.5-pound pull. In addition, the skeletonized enhanced machined hammer adds to the overall 1911 aesthetic and quality of the HPX.

The two-tone black and blue American Black Walnut grip panels feature a honeycomb pattern with thumb relief cut. Likewise, the checkered mainspring housing and front strap add to the enhanced retention during courses of fire. Similarly, the upswept beavertail safety provides safe handling until ready to fire and prevents slide bite.

Fully machined, extended magazine release, thumb safety, and slide stop promote positive engagement even with gloved hands. Each 1911 HPX ships with one 8-round magazine.

Finally, for an additional fee, the 1911 HPX can be personalized with a custom serial number by request when ordering. The serial number must be formatted with a maximum of three letters, a dash, and a maximum of six digits (XXX-000000).
