Key Features Explained

Barrel and Suppressor Readiness

The 5.75-inch threaded barrel with .5×28 threading makes mounting a suppressor or compensator straightforward. The stainless barrel receives a nitride treatment for enhanced wear resistance and longer service life—important for duty guns and frequent shooters.

Sight and Optic Support

An optics-ready slide cut supports the AOS (Agency Optic System), allowing low-profile red dot integration while maintaining a full set of tritium front sights and a serrated black rear sight for rapid target acquisition in mixed lighting.

Controls, Ergonomics, and Reliability

Ergonomic VZ G10 grips, a GI-style recoil system, and two included 8-round magazines deliver balanced handling and predictable recoil for .45 ACP loads. The traditional 1911 ergonomics combined with modern materials ensure confident follow-up shots under stress.
