Modernized Combat 1911 Design

Its full-size Government frame provides stability and control, especially during rapid firing sequences.

9mm Performance Characteristics

Chambered in 9mm, this model emphasizes reduced recoil and increased magazine capacity compared to traditional .45 ACP 1911s. This makes it well suited for training, competition crossover use, and defensive applications.

The dual recoil spring system helps smooth recoil impulse and improves long-term spring durability.

National Match Barrel Accuracy

The National Match barrel enhances mechanical precision, helping deliver consistent shot placement and improved group sizes. It supports both defensive accuracy and range performance.

Dual Recoil Spring System

The dual recoil spring assembly reduces felt recoil and slows slide impact, improving shootability and extending service life. This contributes to smoother cycling and better control during rapid fire.

Sight System for Low-Light Use

Novak night sights provide enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. The tritium front and rear inserts allow for faster target acquisition in defensive environments where lighting may be limited.

Ergonomics and Control

The 25 LPI checkered G10 grips offer a secure hold under recoil, while the beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard improve hand placement and control.

The ambidextrous safety makes the pistol accessible to both left- and right-handed shooters.
