The LFA Apollo 11 SC delivers reliable 9mm performance in a compact 3.5-inch barrel configuration designed for concealed carry and personal defense applications. This striker-fired pistol combines modern engineering with proven reliability standards for shooters demanding consistent accuracy in a reduced-profile package.
What Makes This Different
The Apollo 11 SC features a shortened slide and barrel assembly that reduces overall length while maintaining full-size grip ergonomics for better control. The striker-fired action eliminates external hammers and provides consistent trigger pull characteristics shot after shot. Advanced polymer frame construction reduces weight by 15% compared to traditional steel-frame designs while meeting SAAMI pressure specifications.
Key Features
- Striker-fired action with consistent 5.5-6 lb trigger pull weight
- 3.5-inch barrel length optimized for concealed carry profiles
- Polymer frame construction with textured grip surfaces
- Standard capacity magazine with drop-free release

Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling with standard 115-grain and 124-grain 9mm ammunition across temperature ranges from -10°F to 140°F. The compact dimensions make this suitable for concealed carry holsters while the full-size grip accommodates shooters with larger hands. The nitride finish provides protection against moisture and daily carry wear patterns.
