Tactical Elite
Our Tactical Elite is the ultimate in defensive handguns that we offer. It
was designed with only one thing in mind-rapid and effective response to a
life threatening situation. The Tactical Elite is a 1911, recognized as the
premier defensive handgun, taken to the pinnacle of perfection. Each design
feature was chosen to enhance response and performance.
If you like our SDS pistol, but prefer a full-size package for even more
control, the Tactical Elite is the pistol for you. Centered around the handfitted,
stainless steel, heavy tapered cone barrel, the Tactical Elite delivers all
the accuracy one could demand, combined with the rapid shot to shot recovery
one would expect from a compensated pistol. But this pistol is not compensated!
While the hot gases from compensators can present a real hazard
during a defensive situation and increase, muzzle flash, the Tactical Elite's
unported, maximum weight barrel cannot. And it improves reliability and accuracy!
Nothing is left to chance on the Tactical Elite, as we lavish attention and
our premium accessories on it. Ambidextrous thumb safety, extended ejector,
high ride beavertail, Ultralight hammer and trigger-they're all there, plus
more. Because of the Tactical Elite's primary purpose -- the saving of a life
-- details
such as fit of parts, polishing and throating of the barrel, beveling the
magazine well, lowering and flaring the ejection port, and tuning of the extractor
are
critical, and our attention to them reflects just that. For the final touches
on recoil control, the frontstrap is high cut, checkering applied to it and
the flat
mainspring housing, and then our top-shelf Coco Bolo checkered wooden grips
are installed. As benefits any defensive handgun, the Tactical Elite is
completely de-horned, our Tactical Combat sights are installed, and all carbon
steel parts covered with Armor-Tuff®.
