Description
Working with Tisas for exacting standards, Military Armament Corporation enters the 2011 arena with its new MAC 9 DS. The 1911 features a hammer-forged steel build for maximum durability and ruggedness. Likewise, the MAC 9 DS delivers a 17+1-round capacity and enhanced accuracy with an optic cut and light trigger pull.
The MAC 9 DS builds on a 4140 hammer-forged steel frame with a black Cerakote finish, providing long-lasting durability. In addition, a polymer grip module with a subtle yet firm grip texture offers a secure purchase and solid retention. Correspondingly, the front strap and mainspring housing include additional texturing to aid in retention.
Chambered in 9mm, the MAC 9 DS provides an overall capacity of 17+1 rounds and includes two Checkmate 17-round magazines. Magazine swaps are faster, thanks to the removable aluminum competition magwell with a black Cerakote finish. While not being fired, the 1911 is made safe via the ambidextrous thumb safety and beavertail grip safety.
The 4140 hammer-forged steel Tenifer QPQ slide features forward and rear cocking serrations for enhanced manipulation. Providing the aiming solution is a black serrated rear sight coupled with a fiber optic front sight. However, the slide also includes an optic cut for direct mounting of the RMR and 407c footprint.
