Key Features
- Precision-Fit Slide-to-Frame – Why it matters: Hand-fitted tolerances deliver consistent lock-up and repeatable accuracy, shot after shot.
- Extended Beavertail Grip Safety – Why it matters: Provides a high, secure hold that keeps your hand away from the hammer, reducing felt recoil and improving follow-up shots.
- Match-Grade Barrel with Target Crown – Why it matters: A 5-inch, match-grade barrel with a recessed crown protects the rifling and helps group rounds tighter than most off-the-shelf 1911s.
- Adjustable Rear Sight – Why it matters: Lets you dial in windage and elevation for your specific load, ensuring point-of-aim equals point-of-impact.
- Flat Mainspring Housing – Why it matters: Promotes a more natural grip angle and reduces muzzle flip during rapid fire, making it easier to stay on target.
