Italian manufacturer Chiappa is famous for its cost-effective weapon models directly based on classic designs. The 1911 Superior Grade model is a modified design based on this classic platform using solutions found in the development version of the M45 MEUSOC. It features both a lightweight, skeletonized cocking, a modified spur that allows building a higher grip, and an extended trigger tongue that improves shooting.
The Chiappa 1911 Superior Grade pistol provides the user with:- Proven all-steel construction offering great ergonomics and precision
- Powered by the popular 9x19 caliber to guarantee increased gun control
- SA-type trigger that guarantees low resistance and high smoothness, translating into accuracy
- Service-grade steel mechanical instruments with horizontally-adjustable slingshot
- Fuses characteristic of the 1911 to eliminate the risk of accidental firing
In order to provide us with grip ergonomics identical to the original, the magazine remained in the classic single-row form. By feeding a slightly smaller cartridge than in the original, its capacity could be increased to 10 rounds of ammunition. The all-steel construction translates into high weight and stiffness, which, combined with the SA-type trigger, positively affects the weapon's precision. The pistol has received fixed mechanical sighting devices, which will work well in target shooting.
