G-Force Arms Chronicle 1911

G-Force Arms is introducing the Chronicle, a 9mm single stack Government sized 1911 pistol manufactured in Turkey. The Chronicle blends classic 1911 elements with modern features, like its Turkish walnut grips made from wood juxtaposed with a modern adjustable rear sight and a fiber optic front sight. In addition to this, the Chronicle is built with an alternative skeletonized hammer and trigger set and includes an ambidextrous safety and upswept beavertail grip safety. However, the heart of the Chronicle 9 mm 1911 is its barrel, frame, and slide, and all of these components are meticulously forged from 4140 steel and high-grade aluminum. The barrel features advanced button rifling for superior accuracy and both the frame and slide ensure durability and resilience under any conditions. Weighing in at just over 35 ounces, this handgun strikes a balance between sturdiness and manageable weight, making it suitable for both personal defense and target shooting.

Even though the classic chambering for single stack 1911 pistols has always been the .45 ACP cartridge, the 9mm round has also been a steadfast companion to single stack 1911s for some time now.
