The Tactical Elite carries every combat-proven feature that's made the CQB a benchmark in the class and adds one significant advantage, our one-piece, hand-fit, heavy-flanged, tapered cone barrel. This barrel's added mass slows the cycling impulse, resulting in softer felt recoil, quicker sight recovery, and tighter follow-up strings.
Tactical Elite
The Tactical Elite is arguably the easiest standard .45 ACP pistol to shoot well on the market today, and that combination of qualities makes it one of the highest-performing self-defense pistols available at any price point. When nothing less than 100% functional reliability, fast handling, rapid follow-up shots, and match-grade accuracy is acceptable, choose a Tactical Elite.
