The new “Influencer” 1911 pistol from European American Armory is built from the ground up to cater to a wide range of gun owners. The Influencer offers multiple barrel lengths, including a 5-inch barrel (S) model, 4.4-inch barrel (C) model, and 3.4-inch barrel SC version. The pistol is available in an array of calibers, such as 9mm, 45 ACP, 10mm, and 38 Super. This combination of barrel lengths, pistol sizes and calibers ensures that shooters can find the perfect fit for their needs.

If that wasn’t enough customization, the Influencer is available in your choice of three unique finishes: All-black, two-tone tungsten and black camo. The combinations of colors, and caliber lets you create a pistol that’s tailored to your unique tastes.

In addition to this, the slide on the Influencer is cut to the RMS/RMSc footprint, which allows you to add your choice of optic in that popular mount to this pistol. The gun also features ambidextrous safeties, a three-hole trigger, an extended beavertail for reduced hammer bite, and an oversized magazine well for faster reloads. On the dust cover of the S and C models, there is a short length of Picatinny accessory rail, while the comfortable polymer grips on all the models provide a secure hold, ensuring that every shot counts.
