Colour: Mirror-like finish on the entire slide, barrel, ejection port and frame, likewise all your controls. This pistol is a newer variant to the former 911 SX we did, whereas this one has all its controls chromed. The grip stocks and the magazine floorplate contrarily, are polymer / black.

Magazine Capacity: 9 + 1 - The magazine is a great-looking nickel plated utility featuring 8x ammunition peepholes down its sides, for keeping easier count on payload underneath the topmost primed one.

This gun features 11 cocking serrations at the rear, allowing for an easy and more reliable grip on the slide when needing to rack it.

Safety: Like all COLT M1911 models, this pistol has two safety features; a backstrap safety (that prevents the trigger from being actuated unless this mechanism is pushed forward. Secondly, the ambidextrous thumb safety that can only be pushed up once / if a round is chambered. This latter safety has no need to otherwise actuate. The beaver tail at the apex of the handle's rear is pronounced to provide better protection against hammer-nip - the occurance when the hammer would pinch the webbing between your index and thumb, against the backstrap.

The trigger is skeletized for lighter weight and provides for an aesthetically nicer appearance. The grip stocks are synthetic / blow-moulded w/ hexagonally indented checkering. They are arched as well for improved berth, allowing better grip on the stocks and are fastened w/ a set of black panhead hex drive screws

The pistol also field strips exactly like the COLT M1911 - it has the fully functional second slide-catch notch where, if the slide is retained in a position where the slide-catch intersects with this notch, the entire slide catch pin can be pushed out from the other side and the slide can be removed as such. The knurled disc under the muzzle end also depresses and allows for the collar around the muzzle to be swiveled out the way.
