The phrase “built like a tank” has become a part of American vernacular, used to describe equipment that is robust, resilient, and nearly impervious to damage. While this expression may have originated in reference to armored military vehicles, it aptly applies to the 1911 pistol.

In this context, it is appropriate for Auto-Ordnance to extend its series of World War II commemorative firearms with the Tanker 1911, which pays tribute to the courageous American soldiers who confronted adversaries in armored vehicles such as the M4 Sherman Tank. Each Tanker 1911 features a slide and frame finished in Army O.D. Green Cerakote.

The slide and frame are adorned with the iconic white star emblem of the Sherman Tank, imparting a sense of historical significance. Additionally, the U.S. logo is engraved on the elegantly checkered wood grips, enhancing its natural aesthetic. This all-steel, GI-style 1911 is equipped with a 5″ barrel and incorporates classic GI-pattern sights, trigger, grip safety, and controls.

Acquiring the Tanker 1911 allows contemporary shooters to possess a tangible piece of history while honoring the valor of the tank crews who fulfilled America’s commitment to achieving ultimate victory in World War II. The package includes one 7-round magazine.
