European American Armory has just unveiled the new Girsan Influencer X, a full-size, single-stack, 1911-pattern handgun with an optics-ready slide. Notably, the Girsan Influencer X has a full-profile dustcover, giving it a unique look. More importantly, this handgun is available in four different chamberings: 9mm, .45 ACP, 10mm and .38 Super.
All EAA Girsan Influencer X pistols are built on full-size government 1911 frames with 5-inch barrels and a full-length railed dustcover flush with the gun’s muzzle. In addition to this, the Influencer X includes a skeletonized trigger and a pair of ambidextrous safeties ready to go out of the box.
Girsan Influencer X slides are interesting for a number of reasons. First, Influencer X slides are cut for optics from the factory for Shield RMS/RMSc-footprint optics, which constitute some of the most popular optics footprints for 1911-style pistols. The dimensions of this cut works well with firearms that have thinner slides, such as 1911s or many of the modern polymer striker fired guns optimized for EDC like the M&P Shield Series, SIG Sauer P365 series Taurus GX4 and others.
Second, instead of the traditional barrel-bushing design found on 1911s, the Girsan Influencer X uses an alternative “cone and wedge” style lockup that’s found on many popular double-stack 1911s. The Influencer X also includes a bull barrel with a reverse crown. In addition to being optics ready, the Girsan Influencer X has a tri-corner slide with lightening cuts.
European American Armory is offering the new Influencer X with a starting retail price of only $689. To learn more about the new Girsan Influencer X or any other firearms imported and sold by European American Armory, visit eaacorp.com.
