The Sig Sauer 1911 Nitron Rail is a full-sized handgun that was designed for self-defense and tactical purposes. It has many of the same functions as the 1911 models, along with modern updates that include, a beavertail grip safety, left side controls. It also has an integrated rail for adding a tactical light, laser, or sight rail onto it. It has a match grade barrel, hammer, along with a trigger. The frame is also de-honed to prevent the weapon from catching on clothing or other materials if it is being pulled from concealment.
The overall length of the 1911 Nitron Rail is 8.7-inches, with a height of 5.5-inches, and a barrel length of 5-inches. The frame material is cut from stainless steel, and has a black nitron finish.

The grips are custom rosewood, and feature 25-line per square inch checkering on the strap. The sights are 3 white dot low profile night sights. The trigger pull is approximately 5-pounds for the single action.
