It uses an Officer-length slide and grip, smooth wood grips, low-profile sights, and a skeletonized trigger and hammer. Slide serrations are at the rear only.

Analysis

Armscor offered the same Officer-size Compact Tactical in 9 mm from 2011 through 2014. Construction matches the .45 gun: parkerized steel, wood grips, low-profile sights, and a skeletonized trigger and hammer. It was a short-run catalog item before RIA concentrated compact 9 mm 1911s in later TAC and GI lines.
