The Armscor AF1911-S15 3.5" delivers enhanced 1911 performance with ambidextrous controls and threaded barrel capability in a compact platform. This pistol combines traditional 1911 reliability with modern tactical features for versatile shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
The AF1911-S15 stands apart from standard 1911 pistols through its ambidextrous safety and slide stop controls, accommodating both left and right-handed shooters without modification. The factory-threaded barrel accepts suppressors and muzzle devices directly, eliminating the need for aftermarket barrel replacement. At 3.5 inches, the barrel length strikes an optimal balance between concealability and ballistic performance.
