SHOT Show 2026: Fierce Firearms Debuts a Double-Stack 1911 and the Dirti 8 Suppressor

At SHOT Show 2026, we spent time at the booth of Fierce Firearms to get hands-on with two very different—but equally high-end—new products: a low-production double-stack 1911 pistol and the brand-new Dirti 8 titanium suppressor.

Both releases reflect Fierce’s focus on premium materials, tight tolerances, and listening closely to dealer and customer feedback.

New Double-Stack 1911: Hand-Built and Purpose-Driven

Fierce Firearms introduced a 4.25-inch double-stack 1911, available now, and built in extremely limited numbers—currently by just two dedicated pistol builders.

Key highlights include:

• Hand-fit construction throughout

• EGW internal components

• Red Dirt trigger

• Bull barrel design

• Native RMR optics cut (no plate required)

When shipped, the pistol will include an optional plate with integrated iron sights, allowing shooters to run either irons or a red dot out of the box.

The pistol ships with two 19-round Check-Mate magazines and is compatible with most double-stack 1911 magazines. Current trigger pull is tuned to approximately 3 pounds, balancing performance with shootability.

Pricing & Variants

• MSRP: $3,500

• Initial caliber: 9mm

• 10mm version coming in the fall, expanding to a full-size 5-inch Government model

While the 9mm may eventually see porting, Fierce expects the 10mm version to be ported from the start, pending customer and dealer feedback.

Grip, Controls & Finish Options

The pistol currently runs an aggressive aluminum Cheely grip, offering exceptional traction—even with wet or slippery hands. Fierce plans to eventually bring grip production in-house with subtle design refinements.

Controls follow traditional double-stack 1911 conventions:

• Slim ambidextrous safeties

• No ambi mag release or ambi slide stop

At launch, two colorways are planned:

• Midnight Bronze with black components

• Cobalt Kinetics Green with black components

Additional finishes may follow based on market demand.

Dirti 8 Suppressor: Lightweight, Over-the-Barrel Design

Fierce Firearms also unveiled the Dirti 8 suppressor, a fully titanium, over-the-barrel (OBX) design aimed at reducing forward weight and improving rifle balance.

Core specifications:

• 8-baffle system

• Fully assembled weight: 13.5 oz

• Front-only configuration weight: ~9 oz

• Rated up to .300 Remington Ultra Magnum (18” barrel)

• Full-auto tested

The over-the-barrel design shifts mass rearward, helping avoid the nose-heavy feel common with traditional front-mounted suppressors.

Mounting, Calibers & Availability

The Dirti 8 is:

• Direct-thread only (not HUB compatible)

• Standard thread: 5/8x24

• Optional 1/2x28 adapter available upon request

Initial finish options include:

• Black

• Tungsten Cerakote

• Smoked Bronze

The suppressor is .30 caliber, with interchangeable front caps planned for a future release. Retail pricing is set at $999, with availability expected within the next month through Fierce dealers or direct purchase.

Final Thoughts

Fierce Firearms’ SHOT Show 2026 lineup blends meticulous craftsmanship with smart engineering choices. From a hand-built double-stack 1911 designed for serious shooters to a lightweight, balance-focused suppressor, these releases clearly target enthusiasts who value refinement over mass production.
