EAA Corporation, the importer for Turkish gunmaker Girsan, has just announced that its wildly popular MC1911 Gold Lux is now available in the highly sought-after .38 Super (9+1) caliber. The Gold Lux is a true statement piece, on and off the range, featuring an intricately engraved gold PVD slide, frame, and barrel. It’s paired with newly designed custom grips engraved with the Angel of Independence, a tribute to its cultural heritage. But don't hate it just because it's beautiful; it's everything you need it to be on the range and in your holster. 

“It definitely turns heads with its flashy finish, but the MC1911 Gold Lux isn’t just for collectors or show,” said Chase Duffey, Director of Sales. “It’s a fully capable shooter built on the proven Girsan Match 1911 platform, with high-end features including a drift-adjustable rear sight, enhanced skeletonized trigger, and flared magwell for quick, smooth reloads.”

With an overall length of 8.75", the Gold Lux has a 5" barrel and weighs 2.55 lbs. unloaded. The included G10 grips are made of durable, water-resistant fiberglass epoxy, giving the Gold Lux endurance over long sessions. Deep slide serrations at the front and rear make racking easier, reducing downtime between loads. A skeletonized trigger provides a lighter, smoother pull for an enhanced shooting experience.

Each pistol comes in a premium leather travel case (shown), making it a perfect companion at the range or part of your collection. Priced at MSRP $1,299;EAACorp.com.
