Smith & Wesson 1911 Performance Center Pro 9mm 3" MA Compliant

The Smith & Wesson 1911 Performance Center Pro delivers precision engineering in a Massachusetts-compliant sub-compact platform. This 9mm pistol combines traditional 1911 reliability with modern Performance Center enhancements for serious shooters who demand accuracy in a concealable package.

What Makes This Different

The Performance Center treatment elevates this 1911 beyond standard production models with hand-fitted components and enhanced manufacturing tolerances. The aluminum frame reduces weight to 28.5 ounces while maintaining structural integrity, compared to 35+ ounce steel-frame alternatives. The 3-inch stainless steel barrel features a black finish for corrosion resistance and reduced glare. Massachusetts compliance includes a 10-pound trigger pull and loaded chamber indicator.

Key Features

• Performance Center hand-fitted barrel and bushing for enhanced accuracy
• Lightweight aluminum frame with integral beavertail grip safety
• Black stainless steel 3-inch barrel with target crown
• Serrated slide with front and rear cocking serrations
• Black stippled grip panels for secure handling
• 8+1 capacity with single-stack magazine design
• Novak-style low-profile sights with white dot front

The sub-compact frame makes this 1911 suitable for concealed carry while maintaining the platform's inherent accuracy advantages. The Performance Center's attention to barrel-to-slide fit typically produces groups under 2.5 inches at 25 yards. The aluminum construction reduces fatigue during extended range sessions while the stippled grips provide control in adverse conditions. Massachusetts compliance ensures legal ownership in restrictive states without compromising core functionality.
