Watchtower APACHE

Description

The APACHE double-stack 1911 is expertly precision-machined with a robust 4140 stainless steel frame and a 4.25-inch 416R stainless steel slide. Designed for performance, it features tactical-profile grips, a flared double-stack magwell, a crisp trigger pull, and ambidextrous safety controls for enhanced versatility. Coated with WATCHTOWER’s proprietary buttery slick PVD finish, it delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, even in harsh environments, and ensures effortless maintenance. This advanced PVD coating is applied to the slide, barrel, frame, and all major components, creating a durable, rust-resistant surface engineered to withstand saltwater exposure and offer lasting reliability.

Full Size Profile

Featuring a full-size double-stack 1911 that combines the classic design and ergonomics of the 1911 platform with a wider grip to accommodate a higher-capacity magazine. Popular in competition and tactical use, it offers enhanced firepower without sacrificing the precision and trigger feel the 1911 is known for.

PVD Coatings

This is what everyone loves about the APACHE and refers to it as “butter.” This coating is highly corrosion resistant against saltwater and rust. The added benefit after long hours of shooting, is that all carbon build up easily wipes away.

Return to Zero Recoil

The thread-on compensator reduces recoil and muzzle rise by redirecting expanding gases upward and outward through a large port. This helps shooters maintain accuracy during rapid fire. It also creates a fantastic competition companion and improves stability.

Adjustable Trigger

PVD-coated, user-adjustable competition flat trigger offers enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and a smooth finish. Its flat design provides consistent finger placement, while the adjustable features allow users to fine-tune pull weight and travel for optimal performance in competitive shooting.

Tactile Grip

Added strength without the added weight. The MJD-CFK Nylon Proprietary material made from Carbon Fiber/Kevlar and GF Nylon. Included on the grip is a flared tactical magwell.

American Made

Crafted with the highest standards of quality and integrity. Every component reflects our professional gunsmiths’ spirit of innovation, hard work, and craftsmanship.

The Name APACHE

OPERATION APACHE SNOW was a major U.S. military campaign conducted in May 1969 during the Vietnam War, aimed at clearing North Vietnamese Army forces from the A Shau Valley. It is most known for the fierce battle for Hill 937, later called “Hamburger Hill,” due to the heavy casualties suffered by both sides.
