Introduced in 2024, the Centurion 11 is one of the first Turkish-made 1911s marketed under Century Arms’ own branding. Early production runs like this example are identifiable by the “TL111-25C” serial pattern, making them desirable to enthusiasts tracking first-year variants.
The pistol retains the traditional GI configuration: full-size 5" carbon-steel barrel, spur hammer, short solid aluminum trigger, arched mainspring housing, and fixed iron sights. A left-side thumb safety and grip safety provide familiar single-action controls.
A corrosion-resistant matte silver finish covers the carbon-steel slide and frame, complemented by spiral-textured G10-style grips that deliver a firm purchase without altering classic lines. The slide omits forward cocking serrations, preserving the original aesthetic.
Chambered in .45 ACP, the Centurion 11 feeds from standard 8-round single-stack magazines and offers reliable performance at a price that ranks among the lowest for new-production steel 1911s on today’s market. The CAI Georgia VT import mark confirms its U.S. entry and adds traceable provenance.
