#MAC 1911 BOBCUT BLACK CHROME FOR SALE MAC#
A close examination of the exterior of the MAC 1911 Bobcut revealed excellent attention to both the finish and the wood-to-metal fit on the grips. The magazine has witness holes on both sides and a thick polymer baseplate to assist in proper seating during a fast combat reload. One 8-round magazine with a blued finish comes standard. My test Bobcut came in a plastic gun case that has inlets on the inside for the pistol and spare magazines, as well as a compartment for the owner’s manual. The stippling stops just above the “Bob cut” on the mainspring housing, so as not to abrade the palm. Another nice and practical touch was the stippling on the front and backstraps of the grip frame-what I’d describe as an overlapping dish pattern that allowed me to effectively keep a good hold on the MAC 1911 Bobcut during rapid-fire shooting exercises. Thank goodness there was no squared triggerguard or Picatinny rail to spoil the looks of this handsome handgun. The trigger on my test piece had a tiny amount of take-up before breaking cleanly at 4 pounds. The combat trigger is long and has three holes for weight reduction it is also adjustable for overtravel. The slide release is strictly GI, but it looks to me like the magazine release button is slightly elongated, as it has a higher profile than the one on my stock 1911A1.

Moving down to the frame, at the rear is an extended, ambidextrous manual safety, and the grip safety is an enhanced with an extended beavertail. The hammer is a sketelonized, Commander-style version, and the Bobcut is equipped with a full-length guide rod for the recoil spring. The extractor and firing-pin retention plate are blued and give a nice contrast to the chrome-matte finish. Both sides of the slide have the MAC emblem near the rear, while the left side of the slide is laser-cut with the MAC 1911 and Bobcut logo. If you retract the slide and look inside, you’ll note the barrel is throated, and the surrounding area is expertly polished for reliable operation. The ejection port is lowered and flared to reduce brass deformation, and there are 10 well-defined serrations on the rear of the slide. “I liked the heft of the pistol, and the Bobcut felt better in my medium-sized mitt than the grip configuration of any other 1911 pistol I’ve fired.” The red fiber-optic front sight is also attached via a dovetail cut in the slide. It’s fully adjustable for windage and elevation. On my hard-chrome sample pistol, the rear sight is blue, and the backside facing the shooter is finely serrated to reduce glare. On top of the slide, a Novak-type rear sight is mounted in a dovetail.

This pistol is just chock full of standard features that in times past would only be found on a customized 1911. 45 ACP cartridge and has an 8+1 capacity with the factory-supplied magazine. Custom hardwood grips featuring a fish-scale pattern, and the MAC emblem come standard. Two finish options are available, deep blue or hard chrome, and both are polished on the “flats” and have a sandblasted matte finish on the top of the slide and other areas of the bottom and sides. Both the frame and hammer-forged slide are made from 4140 steel, which contributes to its empty weight of 34.58 ounces. This cut gives the pistol a round-butt profile that aids in concealability. It gets its name from the diagonal cut on the backstrap at the bottom of the grip frame. The Bobcut is a Commander-sized 1911 with a 4.25-inch barrel. Like a number of other reasonably priced 1911s on today’s market, the Bobcut hails from Metro Arms Corporation (MAC) in the Philippines. A former competitive shooter named Hector Rodriguez developed the MAC 1911 line, and these products are well known worldwide for their quality, performance and accuracy.įor more information on the 1911 Bobcut and other products from MAC, please visit. One of the latest is from Eagle Imports (the same folks that bring you the Bersa handgun line), the MAC 1911 Bobcut. Even with 100-plus years of service, it just keeps on keeping on, with new models being introduced on a continuous basis. I continue to be amazed by the popularity of the 1911 pistol.
