The 1911 platform remains a benchmark for defensive pistols, prized for its ergonomics, single-action trigger, and proven track record. For shooters seeking a ready-to-use example with thoughtful upgrades, this particular offering balances value and practical features for home defense or range use.

ESSEX ARMS 1911 comes with 2 magazines, no box. Aftermarket Hogue Grips added. That combination immediately tells you what to expect out of the box: two reliable magazines for immediate use and enhanced grip ergonomics from Hogue’s overmolded panels. The lack of the original box is reflected in the price point of $599.99, and the firearm is listed in the Semi Auto category — ideal information for anyone matching accessories or firearms-safe storage.

What the package includes and what it means

Two magazines are a practical inclusion — they allow for immediate training cycles and a basic reload plan without extra purchases. The aftermarket Hogue Grips improve control during recoil and provide a user-friendly texture for a wide range of shooters. Note that the listing specifies no box, so buyers should plan for safe transport and storage when transferring ownership.

Fit, function, and buyer considerations

Essex Arms is a recognizable name in the field; the listing identifies the brand as Essex Arms and model as Various, suggesting this is a selection from their 1911-type offerings. Since caliber is listed as N/A, confirm the chambering before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your preferred defensive or training ammunition. The $599.99 price places this as an accessible entry point for someone wanting a 1911 with practical upgrades already installed.

Handling, aftermarket upgrades, and readiness

Hogue Grips are a common upgrade because they add comfort and retention without altering controls. With two magazines included, the ESSEX ARMS 1911 can be immediately cycled through basic drills. Confirm service history, bore condition, and that no box or manual is available — those factors affect transfer and long-term documentation.
