Notwithstanding the gun’s widened grip-frame, double-stack magazine and switchable chambering—the Rock Target ships with a 9 mm barrel and recoil spring—the pistol is purely M1911 in style.

According to Rock Island, the LI380 has an 8-lb. trigger pull in double-action mode and a 5-lb. single-action pull. The ergonomic “comfort” grips are made of polymer.
