Something new and something old from the Philippine’s biggest gun manufacturer. Arms Corporation of the Philippines (Armscor) is set to debut its latest 1911 variants on the next gun show this November.
“New” because the company’s expanded product line will include pistols chambered in both the 10mm Auto and the much sought-after .22 TCM. “Old” because true innovation is nearly impossible in the age-old 1911 platform.
In our visit to the Armscor facility in Marikina City earlier this week, the R&D staff showed us the company’s latest offerings—weeks before their formal launch. In the meantime, these photos should give HDJ readers a taste of what is to come.
Perfect 10: Armscor’s line of 1911’s now includes the powerful 10mm Auto. This one is of the “Medallion” grade, with all the refinements that anyone could need.Railed TCM: This .22 TCM sporting a full-length dust cover with an integrated picattiny rail is sure to interest the tactical crowd. TCM pistols are reportedly in high demand.Long slide .45ACP: 1911’s with extended slide assemblies were all the rage during the 1970’s. Armscor resurrects the concept in this 6-inch barreled version..22 TCM Compact: Also to be unveiled is this mid-sized version of the popular TCM pistol. It comes with a 4.25 inch barrel.Compact with rail: This “Commander” length 1911 in .45 ACP has all the upgrades one could ever need. It even sports a pair of elegant VZ Grips.Product expansion: Armscor COO George Chua shows the author a pistol that is representative of the firm’s aggressively expanded line.
#1 wonder about (assumed bullet is Armored to prevent wearing of barrel ??
#2 Would it be illegal Under Obama’s laws??
#3 Would labor be expensive to buy, for my pocket.
Sir/Maam gusto ko lang pi malaman kung makuha po ba ung unit or item ng gun kahit po wala pang gun safety seminar? Pati po ba pnp personnel ay kailangan pa ng seminar na iyon para sa requirements?
