Description
The Girsan Untouchable 45 ACP Black Camo is Girsan’s full-size MC1911S Untouchable chambered in the cartridge the 1911 was designed for, wearing a black camo finish on a steel frame and slide, with a 5-inch barrel and 8+1 capacity.
Girsan Untouchable 45 ACP Black Camo Overview
Imported by EAA (part 392068, UPC 741566906879), this Government model keeps the classic single-action 1911 layout and adds a beavertail grip safety, an accessory rail, a serrated slide, an ambidextrous thumb safety and black polymer grip panels with heavy texture. It weighs about 2.55 pounds and measures 8.75 inches overall. Sights are a fixed 3-dot set. The steel construction and full-length grip make .45 ACP recoil a firm push rather than a sharp snap, which is why the cartridge and this frame size have been paired for more than a century.
A Different Look for a Classic
The camo pattern runs across both slide and frame in subtle black and grey tones, so the pistol reads as dark at a distance and shows its pattern up close. It is a printed or applied finish, so expect edge wear on the muzzle, slide stop and safety with holster use, and clean with solvents that are safe for coated finishes.
Shooting the .45 ACP
The big, slow 230-grain .45 ACP bullet is easy to shoot accurately from a steel Government frame. Ammunition costs more per round than 9mm and capacity is lower, at eight rounds in a single-stack magazine. Many owners keep a supply of 230-grain round-nose ball ammo for practice and confirm their chosen defensive hollow point feeds reliably before relying on it.
Rail and Holster Fit
The dust-cover rail lets you mount a weapon light, but it rules out many traditional 1911 holsters. Choose a holster cut for a railed Government model, or one made for this exact pistol. If you add a light, make sure the holster is designed for that light and pistol combination.
Magazines and Break-In
Like any 1911, this pistol depends on good magazines. Stick with the factory magazine or quality eight-round .45 ACP 1911 magazines from established makers, and replace any with bent feed lips or weak springs. A break-in of a few hundred rounds with ball ammunition, along with generous lubrication on the slide rails, is normal for a new Government model.
Value and Expectations
Girsan offers premium-looking features at an accessible price, and EAA supports the line with a limited lifetime warranty. Fit and finish are solid for the money, though not equal to semi-custom guns, and resale values trail legacy brands. As a range gun or a distinctive addition to a 1911 collection, it delivers a lot.
State Laws and Ownership
Some states maintain handgun rosters that may exclude this model, and local permit or waiting-period rules may apply. Your receiving FFL can confirm whether the pistol is transferable in your state.
