Executive Elite.
A full-size Government-model 1911 built around restraint: a 5-inch slide, 25 LPI checkering, fixed sights, and refined details without turning the pistol into something it does not need to be.
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
The Executive Elite is the full-size reference point for the Executive Series: traditional Government proportions, a secure 25 LPI checkered frame and mainspring housing, practical fixed sights, and understated slide treatment.
The established configuration combines a matte-finished slide for low glare with traditional rear cocking serrations. French borders, ball endmill cuts, a flattened and serrated slide top, and a serrated rear of slide add detail without changing the basic character of the pistol.
Choose a completed Executive Elite if one is available, use this model as the starting point for a custom build, or tell our sales team what you want and let us help you narrow it down.
Refined where it matters.
Full-size Government format
A 5-inch Government slide and single-stack Government frame keep the Executive Elite rooted in the traditional full-size 1911.
25 LPI checkering
The frontstrap and mainspring housing use 25 LPI checkering: enough texture for a secure grip without making the pistol unnecessarily harsh in the hand.
Restrained slide work
Matte finish, rear-only square-cut cocking serrations, French border, ball endmill cuts, and serrated top and rear surfaces give the pistol detail without visual clutter.
The established full-size Executive.
Look closer.
The Executive Elite is defined by restraint and detail. These views show the finished pistol from several perspectives.
