MAC JSOC

Military Armament Corporation will be introducing their new full size .45 caliber JSOC 1911 pistol at the 2023 annual SHOT Show held at the Venetian Expo and Caesar’s Forum in Las Vegas, NV, from January 17-20.

CEO Tim Mulverhill explained, “The new Military Armament Corporation draws its roots from the era of a resurgent American resolve, when we once stood between the massed divisions of the Soviets and our allies in Western Europe, hunted drug cartel kingpins in South America, and being called a communist was the greatest insult imaginable.”

The JSOC 1911 pistol is a full-size government 1911 handgun chambered in the venerable .45 ACP cartridge. The MAC JSOC 1911 is set up as a strictly business 'fighting pistol' and has many elements and details that are a nod back to the days when military armorers would dress up military M1911 A1 pistols to make them more shootable and ergonomic. These old guns would be outfitted with improved sights, beavertail grip safeties, ambidextrous thumb safeties, etc."
