The resurgence of the 1911 platform in modern defensive roles demands innovation that preserves ergonomics while adding contemporary functionality. Operators and enthusiasts want single-action trigger feel, steel slide mass, and the capacity and magazine availability of polymer platforms — without compromise.

FUSION FIREARMS XP PRO is that bridge. This next-generation double-stack 1911 accepts Glock 17 magazines for proven reliability and widespread parts availability. Chambered in 9mm Luger with a 17+1 capacity and a 4″ Commander-length barrel, the XP PRO pairs classic 1911 ergonomics with modern commonality to simplify logistics for range use and duty applications.

Key features and why they matter

The XP PRO is built from bar stock materials and precision CNC machined for dimensional stability and long-term durability. A Clark/Para ramped bull barrel improves lockup and accuracy potential, while the tri-topped slide profile, pro cocking serrations, and front vent cuts reduce glare and provide secure slide manipulation under stress. The only polymer element is the magazine catch — a polycarbonate part specifically engineered to accommodate Glock 17 magazines without modification.

Controls, ergonomics, and accessory readiness

Expect an aluminum frame with a chainlink-pattern checkered front strap for a positive purchase and a removable magwell to speed reloads for competitive or tactical use. The integrated Picatinny tactical rail on the steel slide/frame interface supports lights and lasers for low-light defense or training. At an MSRP of $1,149.00, the XP PRO positions itself as a high-value option in the semi-auto market. View product details and pricing

Caliber choice: 9mm Luger

Chambering the XP PRO in 9mm balances controllability, magazine capacity, and ammunition cost. The 9mm is widely available, easier to shoot rapidly with less recoil than larger calibers, and works with a deep inventory of defensive ammunition options — making the platform practical for duty, home defense, and training.

Final considerations for buyers

For shooters who value 1911 ergonomics but need modern compatibility and higher capacity, the XP PRO is a purpose-built solution with thoughtful machining, Glock-17 magazine commonality, and practical features like the Picatinny rail and removable magwell.
