The Fusion Firearms Defender 1911 stands as a tribute to the original Series 70 Colt design, embodying both heritage and craftsmanship. This compact powerhouse features an all-steel configuration, eschewing plastic components in favor of durability and reliability. Each frame, slide, and barrel is precision CNC machined from bar-stock, ensuring that every aspect of this firearm meets exacting standards.
With its gunsmith-fitted frame, slide, and barrel assembly, the Defender delivers on accuracy right out of the box. The Heavy Duty Chrome barrel boasts a 1:16 twist rate for exceptional precision while also facilitating ease of cleaning—a crucial advantage for any serious shooter. Its positive barrel lock-up further enhances accuracy without requiring extensive modifications or adjustments.
The lowered and relieved ejection port ensures smooth operation by improving spent casing ejection performance. Additionally, it comes equipped with a tuned Power style extractor for reliable extraction under various conditions. Maintaining its traditional roots yet embracing modern adaptability, this model supports standard Colt-style replacement parts compatible with the classic Series 70 design.
Sight customization is simplified thanks to standard dovetail cuts that are Novak compatible—allowing shooters to easily swap sights according to their preference or needs. Complementing its robust construction are premium Red Cocobolo exotic hardwood grips that offer not only aesthetic appeal but also superior handling comfort.
Weighing in at just over two pounds (32.84 ounces) without the magazine inserted—and accompanied by one magazine—the Fusion Defender balances heft with maneuverability perfectly suited for both professional duty use or personal defense carry scenarios.
This firearm comes backed by Fusion’s Limited Lifetime Warranty—an assurance of quality you can trust when choosing your next sidearm companion.
