That barrel is forged stainless steel, and tapered to a precision fit with the slide.
This is most likely due to the smaller bore, which leaves more material in the barrel.
The frame is also forged stainless steel, and the slide is nicely blued forged carbon steel.
Other dimensions are typical of the full-sized 1911 pistol.
Where it gets interesting besides the aesthetics of the gun is the practical function of thecheckering pattern.
It reminds me of a pineapple grenade and it provides a fantastic grip for the shooter.
The G10 grip panels carry that pattern around the sides of the grip.
I found this gun to be locked in place while shooting as if my hands were a vise.
The trigger guard is squared off and oversized.
This should accommodate a gloved hand nicely.
Those curves may help the shooter index the trigger but I think they just look great.

And boy does it shoot!
