Fusion Firearms XP 3C 9mm 3" 15rd Chrome Pistol

The XP 3C is Fusion Firearms' compact double stack 1911, and the interesting part is what it eats. The gun is chambered in 9mm and takes Glock 19 pattern magazines, so the hardest part of owning a double stack 1911, feeding it, becomes a non issue. Everything else is straight 1911: single action trigger, thumb safety, beavertail grip safety, and the short reset that keeps people loyal to the design more than a century in.

Fusion builds the frame and slide from steel and finishes both in industrial hard chrome, a durable, corrosion resistant surface with a bright look that is hard to miss next to a rack of black pistols. The slide is milled for a red dot, a Picatinny rail sits under the 3 inch barrel for a light, and the aluminum grip keeps the circumference in check for a double stack. This version comes with two 15 round magazines. The all steel build soaks up 9mm recoil to the point where the sights barely move, which is exactly what you want out of a short barreled carry gun.
