Hi William, It comes with a ramped barrel Specs - The Rock Island Armory GI series of 1911's are based on a simple, reliable Series 70 design. The GI series allows everyone fond of the 1911 platform to get in on a versatile durable pistol at a price point that won't break the bank. The frame and slide are built from 4140 steel and each pistol is hand fitted and inspected to strict tolerances. A ramped 1911 barrel has the entire feed ramp attached to the barrel, similar to a Glock.
