Special Operations-Inspired Design
The Combat Unit series is built around a duty-oriented 1911 concept emphasizing control under rapid fire. The grip geometry, checkering, and beavertail safety are all designed to promote consistent hand placement and recoil management.
The extended magazine well supports faster reloads, especially under stress or timed drills.
9mm Performance and Shootability
Chambered in 9mm, this model prioritizes shootability and efficiency. The lighter recoil impulse allows for quicker target transitions and reduced fatigue during extended range sessions.
Combined with the full-size 5-inch slide and barrel, it delivers a stable shooting platform with consistent accuracy.
National Match Barrel Precision
The National Match barrel enhances mechanical consistency and supports tighter groupings. It is designed for accuracy under both slow fire and rapid engagement scenarios.
Series 80 Firing System
The Series 80 system adds a firing pin safety mechanism while maintaining a crisp trigger feel. It is commonly used in duty-oriented 1911 configurations for added drop safety reliability.
Ergonomics and Control Features
The 25 LPI checkering and G10 grips provide a secure hold in varied conditions. The undercut trigger guard and upswept beavertail grip safety improve high-grip control and reduce felt recoil.
The ambidextrous extended safety allows intuitive manipulation for both right- and left-handed shooters.
Sight and Target Acquisition
Novak front and rear sights create a clean and uncluttered sight picture. This setup is optimized for fast target acquisition in both defensive and training environments.
