Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Glock Mags - The Alpha Foxtrot is a relative newcomer to the 1911 market. They have been part of the 1911 for 30 years, but now offer a complete firearm. However, they have some really interesting suggestions that I found intriguing. They make 1911 pistols chambered in 9mm with a special coating, but the one that really caught my attention is their 1911-S15. This is a 1911 that accepts Shield Arms magazines!
Yes. But a little background on Alf Foxtrot. They are a subsidiary of Dasan and use Glock aluminum frames for their AF-C pistols.
Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Glock Mags
The AF-C pistol is the largest striker-fired pistol and is constructed from durable Mil-Spec Forged 7075T6 aluminum alloy. The 18° grip angle of the 1911 points naturally, and the extended beaver tail makes bite slippage a thing of the past. Unlike polymer framed pistols, which may simply have textured “gas pedals” on the side of the frame, we machined the index finger rests so that your index finger controls the muzzle flip of the gun.

Alpha Foxtrot makes the 1911 9mm. At the moment, their website only lists the basic government and commander versions. But at Range Day they had some interesting twists on this classic platform.
The 1911 pictured below is one of the smoothest I have ever experienced. The old adage "smooth as glass" is very applicable. According to marketing representative Josh Wee, it has a polished DLC layer that helps with sliding.
My friend Steve was there and admitted to not being a 1911 fan, but he really liked this DLC coated 9mm 1911 pistol. It was such a soft shooting and very accurate gun.
Another 9mm 1911 offering from Alpha Foxtrot is a cut-optic version. They plan to use a Glock rear dovetail to add a rear sight. It will be cut for the RMR CC just like the rest of the pistols.
A Good Carry 1911 For A Short Guy
As intriguing as these 1911s were, the one that stole the show was the Alpha Foxtrot 1911-S15. See photo above. The 1911-S15 is smaller than the Commander 1911. But it holds 15th place in 9mm! Alpha Foxtrot decided to change the frame to a 1911-S15 to take the Shield Arms magazine.
The 1911-S15 is small for a 1911 and without any compromises. It still has the straight trigger, light bolt, safety grip, and single action that you would expect from a 1911.
The 1911-S15 will retail for $1,490. Coming soon in March. According to Josh Wee, they're going to change the checkerboard a bit, the dust cover will go all the way up, and they're going to give the pen a bobtail since it's so small. There is a live pre-order on their website.
