Beyond Expectation
VAELON C Double-Stack 1911 Pistol
Weight Where It Matters
Meet the Vaelon C — a compact, aerospace design with race gun pedigree. Trident ports work in tandem with an aluminum grip module to put complete control in your hands.
Premium PVD coatings finish it off, delivering serious value at this price point. The result: a pistol that keeps the muzzle flat and fast, follow-up after follow-up, with the weight balanced in exactly the right places — handcrafted down to the last cut.
The Vaelon C is in development and will deploy soon.

Feature
Trident Ports
The trident ports strike a purpose-built balance of performance, precision, and aggressive presence — without compromising the refined architecture of a double-stack 1911.
Optic-Ready Mounting
An RMR optic plate pairs with a tritium front sight and an optional removable rear blade.
Coatings
PVD is back, standard on every Vaelon. Physical Vapor Deposition demands meticulous, painstaking precision — and that precision is exactly what pays off: uncompromising quality, lasting durability, and that premium, butter smooth feel that inspired us to bring it back in the first place.
Trigger Weight
In the premium market, trigger weight and reset separate the good from the exceptional. The Vaelon C answers with a flat-faced aluminum trigger shoe, hand-certified by our gunsmiths to break clean at 2.5 lb (±4 oz), with a reset so tight - under 0.100″ - you’ll feel every shot fall into place before you’re even ready for the next one.
Aluminum Grip & Steel Magwell
Improved weight distribution, balance, and rigidity redefine how this pistol feels in your hand. The aluminum grip and steel magwell feature a custom, aggressive multi-texture design built for command over the gun — keeping you locked in and in control, shot after shot.
Less Muzzle Rise
Experience More Control
Engineered for shooters who demand more from a double-stack 1911, the Trident Port System harnesses the explosive energy of each shot and redirects it where it matters most: upward and away from muzzle rise.
