European American Armory Corporation (EAA) has been importing quality and affordable handguns, rifles and shotguns for many years now. Now, they are rolling out a gun that is an affordable alternative to the traditional “big name” 1911 brands. The EAA Girsan MC1911 Match and Match Elite pistols are two high-quality 1911’s that won’t hurt your wallet. Made with the fit and finish one would expect of the high-priced 1911 models, the new Girsan 1911’s have the features, accuracy, detail and performance that makes them an attractive option for an everyday-carry 1911.
Both the Match and Match Elite single-action pistols use fully-machined steel frames and slides with deep serrations. They also feature competition-style features such as fully adjustable sights, an extended beavertail grip, ambidextrous safety, a checkered grip safety and frame, and a long hole hammer and target trigger.
The MC1911 Match full-sized pistol is available in three finishes: Blue, Two-Tone and Nickel, and comes with checkered laminated grips. Trigger weight on the Match smoothly breaks at 2.5 to 3 pounds. The MC1911 Match Elite Government-sized pistol includes many of the same features as the Match, along with a fully adjustable competition rear sight, G10 grips, a competition trigger, magazine well and competition barrel with a cone barrel lock-up. The MC1911 Match Elite is finished in Girsan’s Competition Matte Hard Chrome Finish.
