The EAA Girsan MC1911SC delivers full-size .45 ACP stopping power in a compact carry format. This Turkish-manufactured 1911 variant combines traditional reliability with modern manufacturing precision at an accessible price point.
What Makes This Different
The MC1911SC features a shortened 3.4-inch barrel and compact grip frame while maintaining the proven single-action trigger system of the original 1911 design. Unlike many budget 1911s that sacrifice fit and finish, this model undergoes rigorous quality control testing and includes upgraded features like a lowered ejection port and enhanced trigger. The steel construction provides durability that polymer alternatives cannot match in this price range.
Key Features
- Compact 3.4-inch barrel optimized for concealed carry without sacrificing accuracy
- 6-round magazine capacity with .45 ACP chambering for maximum stopping power
- Black Cerakote finish over steel frame and slide for corrosion resistance
- Enhanced single-action trigger with approximately 4.5-pound pull weight
- Lowered ejection port and extended slide release for improved function
- Fixed front and rear sights with white dot configuration
- Compatible with most standard 1911 holsters and accessories
Field testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The compact dimensions make this pistol suitable for concealed carry, backup duty use, and home defense applications. The steel construction handles +P ammunition specifications without excessive wear, while the shortened sight radius remains effective for defensive distances up to 50 yards.
