Jacob Grey Firearms Unveils the NOX 9: A Decade of Development Culminates in Premium 9mm Pistol

Introducing a New Standard in Double-Stack 1911/2011 Handguns

Jacob Grey Firearms has launched the NOX 9, an innovative 9mm double-stack pistol built on the 1911/2011 platform. Representing more than twelve years of research and development, this precision handgun is entirely CNC machined using in-house manufacturing capabilities. Let's explore the specifications and design elements that define the Jacob Grey Firearms NOX 9.

A Vision for Excellence and Industry Disruption

Todd Neice, President of Jacob Grey Firearms, articulated the company's ambitious vision: "The Nox 9 is more than just another pistol launch — we're making a statement to the world that Jacob Grey deserves respect. Our goal is to disrupt the space with new standards, higher expectations, and a firearm priced according to real numbers. We've invested heavily in automation and technology that allow us to manufacture with aerospace-level precision and without shortcuts. The result is the Nox 9: superior consistency, performance, and craftsmanship."

Advanced Engineering and Premium Materials

Frame Construction and Durability

The NOX 9 distinguishes itself through premium material selection and manufacturing processes. The frame is fully CNC machined from billet 4140 pre-hardened steel and features a DLC coating, delivering superior slide-to-frame fitment and extended service life compared to traditional aluminum frame construction.

Recoil Management Technology

The pistol incorporates a 5-inch ported slide paired with an integrally compensated barrel, engineering solutions that minimize recoil impulse and promote flatter shooting dynamics for faster follow-up shot placement.

Ergonomic Innovation

The NOX 9 features a proprietary Grip Module engineered to position the shooter's hand optimally on the backstrap, facilitating a high grip position that maximizes control authority during firing sequences.

Premium Internal Components

Armored Billet™ Fire Control System

Jacob Grey Firearms equips the NOX 9 with what they designate as Armored Billet™ ignition components. The hammer, sear, disconnector, oversized magazine release, and safety levers are all precision CNC-machined from tool steel and protected with DLC/PVD coating for exceptional durability and reliability.

Precision Trigger System

The pistol features a 2.5 lb Controlled Radius Trigger™ incorporating over-travel adjustment capability and optimized hammer/sear engagement geometry for a refined trigger press.

Modern Optics Integration and Innovative Design

The NOX 9 arrives optic-ready with an RMR footprint mounting plate strategically positioned rearward of the ejection port, ensuring unrestricted cycling and function. The platform also incorporates an exclusive patented ejector design unique to the NOX 9 architecture.
