Beyond Expectation
VANTAGE C Double-Stack 1911 Pistol
Beyond Expectation
Meet the Vantage C. Compact by design, relentless by nature — precision and speed, forged into every inch of it. Its V6 porting system keeps the muzzle flat and fast, shot after shot, so every follow-up lands exactly where you put it. Handcrafted with uncompromising attention to detail — built to outperform expectation, every time you pick it up.
The Vantage C is in development and will deploy soon.

Feature
V6 Porting
Integrated directly into the slide and barrel, V6 Porting delivers a purpose-built balance of performance, precision, and aggressive design all housed in commander length pistol.
Optic-Ready Mounting
An RMR optic plate pairs with a fiber-optic front sight and an optional removable rear blade. Third-party mounting screws may be required depending on your optic choice.
Coatings
The Vantage C is protected by ultra-hard matte coatings that resist scratching, fading, and tarnishing, combining a durable industrial-grade wear layer with a long-lasting finish. It’s available in two tactical finishes: DLC black and PVD flat dark earth (tan).
Trigger Weight
In the premium market, trigger weight and reset separate the good from the exceptional. The Vantage 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.
Carbon/Kevlar Grip
A superior carbon fiber and kevlar composite grip module from MJD Solutions accommodates standard 1911 double-stack magazines in 126mm and 140mm stainless steel.
Less Muzzle Rise
Experience More Control
Engineered for shooters who demand more from a double-stack 1911, the V6 Porting System harnesses the explosive energy of each shot and redirects it where it matters most: downward and away from muzzle rise.
