Designed for Competitive Shooting
This pistol is built with competition ergonomics in mind. The undercut trigger guard and upswept beavertail allow for a higher grip on the frame, improving recoil control and sight tracking during rapid fire.
The dual recoil spring system helps reduce felt recoil while improving long-term durability of the recoil assembly.
Accuracy-Focused Features
At the core of this model is the National Match barrel, a hallmark of precision-oriented 1911 designs. Combined with the fiber optic front sight and adjustable Novak rear sight, the pistol is optimized for fast sight acquisition and fine-tuned accuracy adjustments.
Recoil and Handling
The 9mm chambering already reduces recoil compared to larger calibers, and the dual recoil spring system further smooths the shooting experience. This makes the pistol ideal for extended practice or competition stages requiring speed and consistency.
Ergonomics and Controls
The upswept beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard improve control and comfort under rapid fire. The blue-and-black G10 grips provide secure traction while maintaining a competition-oriented aesthetic.
