Compact, Carry-Focused Design

The PCG is purpose-built as a 4.25″ Commander in .45 ACP, balancing concealability with the handling and control expected from a custom 1911. Its match bull barrel and forward massing provide reduced muzzle flip on a shortened slide, while the Commander length makes it a natural choice for carriers who demand high-end workmanship without excess bulk.

  • Match bull barrel — fitted as standard in the PCG configuration.
