Savage Goes Big…on 1911s?
Firearms icon Savage Arms is expanding its new pistol line with a full dozen new 1911 offerings including rail guns.
Announced this week on the countdown to SHOT Show 2023, the new Savage 1911 line will be available in both 9mm and .45 calibers, three assorted color options– black Melonite, stainless, and two-tone– and either a standard or railed frame.
Across the line, the Savage 1911s all use a forged stainless steel frame and slide, adjustable Novak Lo-Mount sights, Nitride-coated titanium firing pins, ambidextrous slide lock/safety levers, and a host of other features. All are full-sized, single-action Government-style pistols with 5-inch barrels and VZ G10 grip panels.

Between the three color options, two caliber choices, and the option for either a standard or railed frame, Savage will have a full dozen different 1911s to choose from. (Photo: Savage)
I’m gonna have to check these out at SHOT…
I can’t believe Savage sees there is anything left in this sector of the market.
At this rate it won’t be long before Kel-Tec is offering a 1911.
