The Girsan MC1911 SC Influencer delivers proven 1911 reliability in a compact 9mm platform engineered for concealed carry and tactical applications. This optic-ready pistol combines traditional 1911 ergonomics with modern features like a Picatinny rail and Cerakote finish.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP, the MC1911 SC fires the widely available 9mm Luger cartridge while maintaining the classic single-action trigger feel. The 3.40-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for defensive ammunition while keeping the overall length manageable for concealment. Factory optics cuts eliminate the need for expensive slide modifications, and the integrated Picatinny rail accepts tactical lights and lasers without additional gunsmithing.
Key Features
- Optics-ready slide with factory cuts for popular red dot sights
- 3.40-inch blued steel barrel with precision rifling for accuracy
- Black Cerakote finish on steel slide and frame for corrosion resistance
- Integrated Picatinny rail for tactical accessories
- Beavertail grip safety prevents hammer bite during firing
- Gray polymer grip panels provide secure handling in wet conditions
- Serrated slide surfaces for positive manipulation under stress
The MC1911 SC handles defensive 9mm loads from 115-grain FMJ training rounds to 147-grain hollow points with consistent cycling. The shorter barrel length makes this pistol suitable for appendix carry, while the steel construction ensures durability through thousands of rounds. Competition shooters appreciate the crisp single-action trigger, and the optics-ready design accommodates micro red dots for faster target acquisition.
