The A2 stands as a testament to the most-copied pistol design in history. Drawing its lineage from the 1911 A1, the A2 is Dan Wessons vision of what the 3rd generation of military 1911 could have looked like. A lowered and flared ejection port, modern combat sights, tactical beavertail, and an extended thumb safety, as well as a hint of undercutting the trigger guard make this one combat-ready pistol. Starting with a forged steel frame and slide, the A2 is built using top-shelf parts, each component hand-fit. Parts are blended by hand, then it is bead-blasted and finished in a matte blue. Double diamond walnut grips give it a classic look while the stainless steel match barrel and tight slide-to-frame fit ensure that it is no slouch in the accuracy department.
