  • All models sport the newly designed LOK G-10 grips for improved handling.
  • The removable steel magwell offers added functionality.
  • The flat blade trigger is adjustable for next-level handling.
  • The serrated checkered front strap helps ensure a secure grip.

The 1911-XFULL is available in three full-size 5-inch options, each chambered in .45 Auto and shipping with two 8-round steel magazines.
