WHAT MAKES A PREMIUM DOUBLE-STACK 1911 WORTH IT?
The 1911 Legacy — Evolved
The 1911 has always been iconic; a pistol known for its balance, crisp trigger, and rock-solid reliability. When you bring in modern engineering and double-stack capacity, you don’t just update a classic…you take it to the next level.
At Alpha American we don’t build just “another 1911”. We build double stack guns that feel as good as they shoot.
American-Made Parts, American Pride
Every AAF pistol begins with billet steel slides and frames. No short cuts, no cast parts, no imported parts go into our guns.
From the tiniest pin all the way to the biggest part, every single piece is American made because we believe “Made in the USA” should carry weight.
“Engineered for Excellence. Built for life.”
Performance You Can Feel
Capacity without compromise - that’s the double-stack 1911 advantage.
You get all of the great things the classic 1911 has to offer paired with more rounds on deck for competition, duty, or defense.
We go further with performance-driven options:
Porting choices — single, dual, or V-port for faster follow-up shots.
Stainless or aluminum grips to balance weight and recoil.
Ambidextrous safeties are standard because control should never be one-sided.
Precision-Fit Craftsmanship
Mass production builds firearms to a price. At AAF we build to a standard.
Our master gunsmiths hand-fit each slide, frame, and barrel to tolerances you can feel. That’s why an Alpha American slide runs like its on glass, and why lock-up feels rock-solid shot after shot. Its craftsmanship you can trust every time you rack the slide.
Finishes That Outlast the Fight
Every AAF pistol comes in a standard DLC finish which is one of the toughest wear resistant finishes available and will keep your pistol looking sharp after thousands of rounds.
Want something that stands out? We also offer custom Cerakote options that let you put your personal stamp on it - whether you like a more tactical look or a loud one off design that makes the pistol unmistakably yours.
Built by Gunsmiths, Not Assemblers
Our team includes veterans from the industry bringing decades of single stack and double stack 1911 knowledge to every build. Every pistol is tuned, tested and refined until it meets the benchmark - if we wouldn’t carry it ourselves, it doesn’t leave the bench.
An Heirloom, Not Just a Purchase
A premium double stack 1911 isn’t a safe queen or flavor of the month gun. It’s a pistol that will run hard on the range, in competition, or that you can carry with pride and still have confidence to pass it down one day. The fit, finish, and feel…they’re not just made for a season. They’re built for a lifetime.
When you choose Alpha American Firearms, you’re not buying a gun.
You’re investing in American craftsmanship, veteran-built integrity, and uncompromising performance.
