The Ultimate All-Steel Compact Carry 1911
The Fusion Firearms XP 3C Black is the next evolution in modern concealed carry — a 3 inch double stack 1911 chambered in 9mm that accepts Glock® 19 pattern magazines, engineered directly from real shooter feedback.
Purpose-built for those who demand compact size without sacrificing control, durability, or capacity, the XP 3C combines classic 1911 trigger precision with modern ergonomics and double-stack performance.
This is not a downsized compromise. It is a refined carry platform designed from the ground up.
Tenifer® QPQ Black Finish – Hardened From Within
The XP 3C Black features a Tenifer® QPQ finish applied to the all-steel frame and slide. This advanced salt bath ferritic nitrocarburizing process penetrates the steel at a molecular level, dramatically increasing surface hardness and corrosion resistance.
Unlike paint or applied coatings, Tenifer becomes part of the metal itself.
Benefits of Tenifer QPQ:
-
Exceptional corrosion resistance
-
Increased surface hardness
-
Extreme wear durability
-
Deep matte tactical black appearance
-
Resistance to chipping, flaking, or peeling
For a compact 3 inch carry pistol exposed to daily sweat, humidity, and holster wear, Tenifer QPQ ensures long-term reliability and durability.
Redesigned Aluminum “Pew View” Inspired Grip Module
After extensive customer feedback, the XP 3C introduces the refined aluminum grip module, inspired by the popular Pew View ergonomic concept and enhanced for performance.

-
Aggressive updated texture for superior retention

FFL transfer required
This item is a firearm and ships only to a licensed FFL dealer, never to a home address. At checkout, enter your preferred dealer as the shipping address, or leave it blank and we will assign a licensed dealer near you at no extra cost. You complete the background check and paperwork with the dealer when you pick up.
