Metro Arms American Classic II – .45 ACP Semi-Automatic Pistol
The American Classic II from Metro Arms Corporation is a high-quality, budget-friendly 1911-style pistol chambered in .45 ACP. Manufactured in the Philippines and imported into the U.S., this full-size handgun blends classic design with modern manufacturing, offering an excellent balance of performance, craftsmanship, and affordability. It has gained a solid reputation among enthusiasts looking for a reliable, entry-level or mid-tier 1911.
Design and Features
The American Classic II closely follows the traditional M1911-A1 blueprint, with enhancements for improved ergonomics and performance. It features a forged steel frame and slide, delivering durability and consistent performance. The pistol is single-action, recoil-operated, with a 5-inch barrel and an 8-round magazine capacity.
Enhanced features include an extended thumb safety, beavertail grip safety with memory bump, and a skeletonized trigger and hammer. The pistol also comes with dovetail-cut Novak-style sights for easier target acquisition and an extended slide stop and magazine release for smoother handling.
With its tight slide-to-frame fit, checkered hardwood grips, and refined trigger pull, the American Classic II punches above its price point—often compared favorably with more expensive 1911s.
