Jacob Grey Firearms is introducing the new TWC 9, a double-stack 1911 platform handgun built out of billet aluminum components. The TWC 9, which stands for "Throwback With Capacity," has a 4.25-inch stainless steel bull barrel for both accuracy and durability, with a Nowlin ramp for repetition, durability and accuracy.

“Jacob Grey is all about a passion for excellence. This TWC 9 is a throwback to our first love, the 1911. It is the pinnacle of our pursuit of the perfect weapon” said Jacob Brackett, CEO for Jacob Grey Firearms.

The TWC 9 has a fully CNC-machined lower grip and upper frame, both of which are crafted from aerospace-grade billet 7075 aluminum for reduced weight and a comfortable and balanced shooting experience. Another standout features of the TWC 9 is its CRTTM (Controlled Radius Trigger). Crafted from billet aluminum, this trigger is CNC machined as a single monolithic part, ensuring a smooth, crisp and consistent 3.5-pound trigger pull.

The slide of the TWC is machined from stainless steel and treated with a salt-bath nitriding process. This results in a lustrous and lasting finish and also adds to the handgun's overall rugged durability.

Jay Duncan, VP of Marketing for Jacob Grey, commented, "The TWC 9 is the result of extensive research and market landscape analysis to find the sweet spot of quality, value, and features to meet the demands of discerning handgun owners.”

Todd Neice, President of Sales & Marketing “I wanted to utilize our tech and aerospace history and combine it with the Jacob Grey Custom 1911 successes to build a production gun that is priced right and second to none in quality. Once you get your hands on this firearm you will quickly see that we succeeded.”

The TWC 9 is designed to be optic-ready for both RMR and RMSc optic footprints to accommodate the needs of modern shooters who seek the accuracy and versatility of a red dot. The firearm also features an XS Sights tritium front sight, with the rear sight integrated into the optic plate or filler plate, both of which are suppressor height.

Additional enhancements include an integrated flared magazine well for quick and easy reloads, an ambidextrous safety for versatile use and a full two-piece guide rod system for added reliability. The TWC accepts standard 2011 magazines and has a retail price of $2,499.99.
