Concealed carry has truly evolved over the past decade.
The everyday carrier used to have to adapt to the gun and holsters that were available.
ensure you check outMassad Ayoobs review of the original Springfield 911 .380 pistol.
Tiny Is As Tiny Does…
The tiny pocket-style pistol is based off the iconic 1911 design.
It features a 7075 T6 anodized hard-coat aluminum frame with sleek yet aggressive Crossed Cannons polymer grip panels.
The grip on these small guns is something that to me is extremely important.
At times the small frame pistols can be a bit tough to hold onto.
The 911 Alpha is not.
The safety is small but very easy to manipulate quickly with just a little practice.
You will find a small, loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide.
Also located on top of the slide is a set of nice sights.
I have what I would consider normal size hands, not huge but not tiny either.
Somehow Springfield was able to cut down the recoil, making a very easy-to-shoot pocket pistol.
I experienced no malfunctions and got very tight groups with everything I fed it.
Not bad at all for a tiny pocket pistol.
Lightweight, compact, sleek and attractive, all while being extremely shootable by nearly every shooter.
