SIG SAUER 1911 C3 – .45 ACP, 4.25″ Barrel, Compact Carry 1911, Two-Tone Finish, Night Sights, 7/8-Round
The SIG SAUER 1911 C3 (Concealed Carry Compact) is a refined single-action-only (SAO) 1911 pistol designed to provide the classic 1911 shooting experience in a smaller, more carry-friendly configuration. Chambered in .45 ACP, the C3 combines a Commander-length slide and barrel with a shorter Officer-style grip frame, creating a compact pistol with excellent balance and concealability.
The 1911 C3 features a 4.25-inch barrel, stainless steel frame, two-tone finish, and traditional 1911 controls. Designed for concealed carry, it includes Novak-style night sights, custom rosewood grips, a beavertail grip safety, and an extended manual thumb safety. The shorter grip reduces printing while maintaining the familiar ergonomics and crisp trigger characteristics of the 1911 platform.
Built with SIG SAUER’s attention to fit and finish, the C3 offers a lightweight, compact alternative to a full-size 1911 while retaining the accuracy and handling advantages of a longer slide. Magazine capacity varies by configuration, with models commonly available in 7- or 8-round capacities.
