First Look: Alpha Foxtrot Attila Compact 1911DS
Alpha Foxtrot Attila Compact 1911DS pistol with extended magazine.

Alpha Foxtrot is now shipping the Attila Compact, a double-stack 9mm 1911 that’s small enough to carry.

Double-stack 9mm 1911s are incredibly popular these days, but most are too big and heavy to comfortably carry concealed. Alpha Foxtrot is helping to remedy that with its Attila Compact 1911DS.

Featuring a 3.5-inch barrel with an integrated compensator, it should be supremely shootable despite its small size. Thanks to its slim-profile aluminum frame, it should be pretty light on the belt and easy to conceal, too. It feeds from Glock 43X/48-pattern magazines, and each pistol ships with three Shield Arms mags, including a 10-, 15- and 20-rounder. The 10-rounder offers you ultimate concealability while the 20-rounder offers maximum firepower and a larger grip.

Other features of the Attila Compact include an optics-ready slide (RMR & RMSc footprint), a front night sight, a crisp 4-pound trigger and an ambidextrous safety.

Alpha Foxtrot hasn’t published the Atilla Compact’s MSRP, but online retailer listings have it priced at around $1,000.
