+ Introduction to Race City Defense RC9: Learn about Race City Defense, a Mooresville, North Carolina-based company founded by mechanical engineers with NASCAR backgrounds who shifted to producing high-end doublestack 1911 pistols in 2019.
Features and Specifications:
+Materials: Slides and frames machined from 4140 stainless steel in the USA.
+Customization: Options for government (5.1") or commander-sized frames, with proprietary porting that functions even with lower-pressure 147-grain ammunition.
+Grip Design: Unique aluminum grips that offer excellent traction without being overly aggressive—perfect for both handling and concealed carry.
+Components: Includes Atlas Gunworks triggers and recoil spring guide rods, allowing for fine-tuning to personal preferences.
+Finish: All pistols feature a DLC finish, available in multiple colors including black, FDE, and rose gold.
+Optics Ready: Comes standard with an RMR footprint optic plate; compatible with Trijicon SRO, Holosun 507C, and can use C&H Precision plates for other optics.
+Accessories: Ships with two Atlas magazines, a Savior bag, and a Gun Butter needle applicator.
Price Point: Positioned around $4,000, filling the gap between more affordable options like the Staccato 2011 and higher-end pistols like the Atlas Gunworks offerings.
+Range Test and Performance:
Initial Impressions: Outstanding grip texture, excellent trigger, enlarged safeties for recoil control, and exceptionally soft shooting due to porting and steel frame.
+Magazine and Ammo Compatibility: Successfully tested with various magazines (except Springfield Prodigy mags) and ammunition types, including 124-grain and 115-grain rounds.
+Minor Issues: Noted some optic plate loosening, but Race City Defense has addressed this in newer models with Vibra-Tite and compatibility with C&H Precision plates.
Final Thoughts: The RC9 offers a compelling package for those seeking a high-quality, customizable, US-built 2011 pistol without the higher price tag of some competitors.
