VKTR Industries, known for manufacturing AR-15 rifles and accessories, has launched the Vanguard series of double-stack 1911 handguns. The initial model is the VKP Pro, a 9mm pistol fully manufactured and assembled in the United States using US-sourced components.
According to the press release, the gun will feature:
- Combat Trigger – The custom VKTR single-piece trigger sports a ~3.5lb pull with a clean break and extremely positive reset.
- Fully Machined Steel Controls – Fully constructed of all steel, and zero MIM parts for crisp tactile performance and durability.
- Reinforced Polymer Grip – Enhanced strength and molded with VKTRs custom grip surface. This grip surface is the perfect balance between grip and comfort during prolonged carry and range sessions.
- Steel Frame Durability – The 416 stainless steel frame provides excellent weight and ensures your VKP Pro will outlast the competition regardless of conditions.
- Fully Optics Compatible – The VKP Pro is optics-ready out of the box, with three included optic footprint plates (Acro, RMR, & DPP). Comes standard with XS Sight front sights. No need to shop around.
- Coating – The VKP Pro is covered with DLC ArmorLube coating, to ensure unrivaled protection and performance for years. This coating protects and coats the pistol while helping maintain the precision tolerances.
“We are extremely excited for this new lineup.” said Dave Rybacki, the owner of VKTR industries and White Label Armory. “The VKP Pro is our flagship model, and we are working to expand the line. End users can be sure that this handgun will be manufactured to the highest standards and tolerances.”
The price is listed at $3,999.99, and it ships with 4 custom Atlas magazines, 3 optics plates, and a carry case. More details at: https://www.vktrind.com/product/vkp-ds-1911/
