Design and Build

Frame and slide machining reflect premium materials and tight tolerances consistent with a performance-oriented 1911. The DLC black finish resists wear and corrosion while maintaining a smooth slide action. The 4.25-inch barrel retains a compact footprint without compromising sight radius, which helps maintain accuracy at typical engagement distances.

Controls, Capacity, and Handling

This compact 1911 departs from tradition with modern capacity options: the package includes one 17-round and one 20-round magazine, offering defensive-level capacity in a compact chassis. The balance between slide mass, barrel length, and grip ergonomics provides predictable recoil and fast follow-up shots — valuable in both competitive stages and defensive scenarios.
