The LFA Apollo 11 FS delivers enhanced muzzle control and rapid target acquisition through its integrated ported barrel system. This 9mm striker-fired pistol combines precision engineering with practical features that matter when accuracy and speed count.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard pistols that rely solely on grip technique for recoil management, the Apollo 11 FS incorporates strategically placed ports in the 4.9-inch barrel that redirect propellant gases upward. This design reduces muzzle flip by approximately 30% compared to non-ported alternatives. The full-size frame provides a stable shooting platform while maintaining compatibility with most standard holsters designed for similar-sized pistols.
Key Features
- Ported 4.9-inch barrel reduces muzzle rise and improves follow-up shot speed
- Striker-fired action with consistent trigger pull for reliable ignition
- Full-size polymer frame with textured grip surfaces for secure handling
- Standard capacity magazine compatible with common 9mm magazines
- Picatinny rail system accommodates lights and laser accessories
- Low-profile sights with white dot front sight for quick target acquisition
- Ambidextrous controls suitable for left and right-handed shooters
The ported barrel system proves most effective during rapid-fire sequences where maintaining sight picture between shots becomes critical. Competition shooters benefit from the reduced recoil impulse during timed stages, while the 4.9-inch barrel length provides sufficient velocity for defensive applications. The black finish resists corrosion and maintains appearance through extended use in various weather conditions.
