Watchtower Defense Passes $700 in Factory Savings to Customers
Tomball, Texas | June 2026
Watchtower Defense has set the MSRP of the Apache Commander at $3,299, passing $700 in newly found factory efficiency savings straight through to customers.
The savings come out of efficiencies the company found at its 24,000-square-foot facility in Tomball, Texas.
“We are listening to the market, our customers, dealers, and wholesale partners,” said Jordan Davis, Watchtower’s Chief Executive Officer. “The message has been clear – customers appreciate the Apache Commander’s features and performance but want a more competitive price. Setting the MSRP at $3,299 and sharing the newly found cost savings to our customers means more opportunity for shooters to carry a premium firearm in their holsters.”
The Apache Commander is a double-stack 1911 built around a precision match-grade barrel rated for sub-MOA accuracy and an ergonomic grip module. It is designed and assembled in the USA and carries a transferable limited lifetime warranty.
Full specifications, colors and dealer options are on the Apache Commander page.
