The Girsan MC1911SC delivers classic 1911 reliability in a compact 9mm package with modern stainless steel construction. This Turkish-manufactured pistol combines traditional 1911 ergonomics with the practical advantages of 9mm Luger chambering and corrosion-resistant finish.
What Makes This Different
Unlike full-size 1911s, the MC1911SC features a shortened grip and slide optimized for concealed carry without sacrificing the proven single-action trigger system. The stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to blued carbon steel alternatives. Girsan's manufacturing process incorporates CNC machining for consistent tolerances and reliable feeding with modern 9mm ammunition.
Key Features
- Compact 1911 frame with 7-round magazine capacity
- Stainless steel slide and frame construction for durability
- Single-action trigger with crisp break and short reset
- Low-profile sights with white dot front sight
- Checkered grips for secure handling
- Standard 1911 controls including thumb safety and grip safety
- Compatible with most 1911 holsters and accessories
The MC1911SC maintains the accuracy and reliability expected from the 1911 platform while adapting to modern carry requirements. The 9mm chambering reduces recoil compared to .45 ACP variants, enabling faster follow-up shots for defensive applications. The stainless finish resists environmental wear during daily carry, while the compact dimensions conceal effectively under business attire or casual clothing.
