The smallest, lightest 1911 we make. Designed from the ground up as our compact carry king, the Counselor pairs a 3.5" bull barrel — the shortest in the Nighthawk lineup — with an officer-size frame shortened even further to work with our proprietary integrated magwell. The integrated magwell and custom RailScales grips deliver all the benefits of a magwell without increasing grip length — a critical consideration for concealed carry. Up top, the Counselor features unique slide cuts with positive front cocking serrations and a slightly bull-nosed apron below. To save weight, it ships with an anodized aluminum frame as standard. Purpose-built for carry without compromise.
