1911’s in general, 9mm versions specifically

[Formidilosus]

I don't have an old C but the new C is actually narrower than a 1911.

They beat the system with the polymer grip module.

The new C is pretty much the same size as a G45.

I wonder 2 things:
- why they called the new gun a "c" too...seems dumb...the old single stack "c" isn't "old".
- why they released a 3.5" barrel gun (CS) and 4" barrel gun (C) before a full sized 5" gun. I bet that's what they will release next.

A real 1911 is more similar to a G34:

At the widest point the C/CS and normal to thick 1911 grips are the same as you show. However, the front strap and backstraps being a smaller diameter and rounded/oval have a relatively large difference in feel and even control. Also, the general hardest portion of a pistol to conceal is the bottom back part of the backstrap- right where a 1911 is thinner.
The original Brouwer M1811 grip module was basically between a Staccato 2011 grip and the C/CS. The next iteration was functionally what the Staccato C/CS are. By iteration 4 IIRC the front strap, grip panels, etc were applied. Something like 70,000 rounds were fired in the development of the grip module from all classes of shooters- barely competent to world class; and everything pushed it back to a 100% shape/size/contour of a 1911.


Blue arrows point to where the human hand is smallest in cross section while gripping a pistol, red the largest. Now look at most 1911 grips from the top-
