The Rock Island Armory Rock Standard CS is a compact 1911-style pistol built around the proven traditional Series 70 design, delivering classic performance, dependable reliability, and smooth operation in a carry-friendly package. Chambered in 9mm with a 3.60-inch button-rifled barrel, this compact 1911 combines timeless styling with modern manufacturing standards for exceptional value and performance.
Constructed from high-grade SAE 4140 stainless steel, the slide and frame provide excellent durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining the iconic 1911 appearance enthusiasts appreciate. The pistol features traditional rear slant serrations and a classic roll-over ejection port for reliable cycling and smooth operation under demanding conditions.
One of the standout features of the Rock Standard CS is its attractive and functional Wood Double Checkered grips. These premium grips provide enhanced texture and control for a secure shooting grip while adding a refined, classic appearance that complements the stainless finish. Combined with the ergonomic beavertail grip safety and low-profile controls, the pistol delivers excellent handling and comfort for concealed carry or range use.
Built on the respected Series 70 platform, this pistol offers a cleaner and more traditional trigger system favored by many 1911 enthusiasts for its crisp break and simplified internal design. The factory-tuned trigger delivers a smooth 4 to 6 lb trigger pull, enhancing accuracy and overall shootability right out of the box.
Additional features include a skeletonized hammer, dovetail-mounted sights, parkerized internal components, and snag-free low-profile rear sights designed for rapid target acquisition and reliable defensive performance.
