.45 ACP Power with 8+1 Capacity: Classic Performance, Modern Practicality
Chambered in .45 ACP, the CQB delivers the classic big-bore shooting experience that made the 1911 platform legendary. The recoil impulse is authoritative yet manageable in a full-size, steel-framed 5-inch configuration, and the cartridge remains a favorite among shooters who value a traditional defensive caliber with a long history of service and proven performance.
With 8+1 capacity potential, this pistol offers a practical magazine loadout while maintaining the timeless profile and ergonomics that 1911 fans love. The result is a well-balanced sidearm that feels substantial in the hand and shoots with a controlled, predictable cadence.
5" Government-Length Barrel: The 1911 in Its Most Proven Form
The 5-inch barrel is the classic 1911 format for a reason. It provides excellent sight radius, smooth cycling characteristics, and a recoil feel that many shooters find easier to manage compared to shorter slide variants. In practical terms, that means:
A steadier sight picture and often easier precision shooting
Consistent function and timing in the full-size platform
A balanced weight distribution that supports fast follow-up shots
Whether you’re working fundamentals, shooting for groups, or training at speed, the 5" CQB is designed to feel stable, predictable, and confidence-inspiring.
Black Armor-Tuff Finish: Built for Hard Use, Built to Last

Armor-Tuff is known for durability and corrosion resistance characteristics suited to frequent handling, holster use, and varied environments.
Beyond protection, Black Armor-Tuff gives the CQB a clean, professional aesthetic—matte, tactical, and timeless. It’s a finish that complements the CQB’s identity as a no-nonsense fighting pistol with premium execution.
