MAC Unveils Revolutionary Double Stack 1911: The MAC 9 Comp

Author: Nick Miles | Publish Date: Jan 18, 2025

Military Armament Corporation (MAC), operating under the SDS Arms umbrella, has unveiled their latest innovation in the 1911 platform - the MAC 9 Double Stack Comp 9mm pistol. Engineered in Knoxville, Tennessee and precision-crafted by Tisas, this modern take on the classic 1911 design integrates advanced features for enhanced performance.

At the heart of this new offering is an innovative integrated compensator system, seamlessly incorporated into the slide and barrel design. The handgun comes optics-ready with an Agency Arms cut compatible with RMR pattern red dots. Departing from traditional 1911 aesthetics, the MAC 9 incorporates a modern polymer grip module featuring a carefully engineered texture pattern that balances retention with comfort.

The 4.25-inch bull barrel, treated with QPQ Tenifer finishing, incorporates an 11-degree target crown - a combination designed to deliver superior accuracy while managing recoil impulse. For the 9mm chambering, this barrel configuration provides an optimal balance of sight radius and controllability.

Key Technical Features:

  • Slide Construction: 4140 hammer-forged steel with Tenifer QPQ coating
  • Barrel Material: 4140 hammer-forged steel, Tenifer QPQ treated
  • Frame: 4140 carbon steel with Tenifer QPQ finish
  • Trigger System: Skeletonized design with adjustable overtravel, 4.75 lbs ±0.25 lbs pull weight
  • Features: Skeletonized hammer, black serrated front sight, extended slide stop, and adjustable magazine release

The MAC 9 Double Stack Comp represents a fusion of classic 1911 reliability with modern shooting dynamics, purpose-built for today's defensive and competitive shooters.

Each MAC 9 Double Stack Comp ships with a comprehensive package including dual magazines, a complete maintenance kit, security cable lock, spare mainspring retainer pin, dedicated Agency Arms RMR optics mounting plate, and a premium-grade lockable hard case.
