- 1911-Style Frame with Double-Stack Grip – Combines the familiar 1911 grip angle with a 17+1 round capacity. Why it matters: New shooters find the 1911 grip natural, while experienced shooters appreciate the extra magazine capacity.
- Factory-Assembled and Test-Fired – Comes ready to shoot, with all internals fitted and head-spaced at the factory. Why it matters: No gunsmithing skills needed – just clean, load, and hit the range.
- Adjustable Rear Sight – Fully adjustable for windage and elevation, with a fiber-optic front. Why it matters: You can dial in your point of aim for different ammo types or shooting distances.
Who It’s For
The Apollo 11 V2 is perfect for families who want a single pistol that works for both range practice and home protection. New shooters will appreciate the 1911 grip angle and manageable recoil, while experienced shooters will like the match-grade accuracy and 17-round capacity. It’s also a great option for youth shooters moving up from .22 caliber – the 9mm is affordable to shoot, and the all-steel frame soaks up recoil.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Reliable out of the box, accurate barrel, high capacity, 1911 ergonomics, durable Cerakote finish, no assembly required.
- Cons: The grip may feel thick for shooters with smaller hands – consider swapping to thin grips if needed. Also, the all-steel frame makes it heavier than polymer-framed pistols, which some users find tiring for all-day classes.

FAQ
Is the LFA HG8642-N Apollo 11 V2 CPT 9mm Grey a complete pistol or a kit?

What magazines does the Apollo 11 V2 use?
