Lot 1155:
Custom Carved Rock Island Armory M1911 A1-380 Baby Rock Semi-Automatic Pistol .380 ACP
Description
This lot features a Rock Island Armory M1911 A1-380 Baby Rock semi-automatic pistol chambered in .380 ACP, configured as a scaled-down compact version of the classic 1911 design. The firearm is equipped with a 3.75 inch barrel and features a matte black Parkerized-style finish on the slide and frame. A notable characteristic of this example is the addition of custom-carved wooden grip panels, which display intricate floral and leaf motifs with a textured background. The slide is designed with both rear and front cocking serrations and bears the white Rock Island Armory mountain logo on the left rear. Key markings include the serial number RIA2433879 and model designation M1911A 380 stamped on the right side of the frame. The underside of the dust cover is marked APINTL-PAHRUMP NV and ACP PHILIPPINES, while the barrel hood is explicitly stamped CAL.380. The pistol is fitted with a skeletonized trigger and hammer, a combat-style grip safety with an extended beaver tail, and low-profile combat sights, with the front blade featuring a white dot. This lot includes two stainless steel magazines and a black leather right-handed belt holster. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol is in good used condition, showing moderate signs of handling and holster wear. The black finish displays scattered scuffs and light scratches on the slide and frame, particularly near the muzzle and high edges. The custom-carved wooden grips are well-preserved with sharp detail and no visible cracks. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly with a crisp trigger pull and smooth slide cycle, although it has not been test-fired. The included stainless steel magazines show minor surface wear, and the leather holster remains supple with intact stitching.
