The Rock Island GI Entry FS 9mm (56626) brings the classic 1911 platform into the modern age with a lightweight, soft-shooting 9mm configuration and rugged black anodized finish. Designed for shooters seeking traditional ergonomics with contemporary performance, this full-size pistol delivers exceptional control and timeless reliability.
Built on a forged steel frame and slide, the GI Entry FS features a 5-inch barrel, GI-style fixed sights, and a black anodized finish that resists wear while offering a clean, tactical aesthetic. Rubber grips improve comfort and recoil absorption, making it easier to shoot over extended sessions.
Internally, the pistol utilizes a Series 70 fire control system for a smooth and direct trigger pull. A manual thumb safety and grip safety provide trusted 1911-standard handling, while the 10-round magazine offers enhanced capacity over traditional .45 ACP variants.
This model is ideal for new shooters, training environments, or anyone who values the 1911 platform with reduced recoil and increased capacity.
