Analysis

This two-tone GI was a finish variant of RIA’s Series 70 GI Standard: nickel frame and parkerized slide. Armscor listed it from 2009 and later dropped the combination. The underlying GI Standard .45 remains in production in parkerized form. Used two-tone guns sell with other GI Standards, sometimes a little higher for the nickel frame.
