The C3 configuration delivers compact dimensions with a Commander-length slide and barrel over an Officer-length frame, offering the classic 1911 layout in a carryable size. The slide is stainless over a dark frame for a two-tone appearance, and uses the squared SIG profile with an external extractor, rear cocking serrations, and a lowered/flared ejection port.
Targeting is straightforward with fixed, low-mount dovetailed 3-dot sights front and rear. The pistol is also outfitted with Crimson Trace checkered wood laser grips, adding an additional aiming option integrated into the grip panels.
Controls and ergonomics follow the 1911 pattern with single-action operation, a left-side-only thumb safety, and a beavertail grip safety with memory pad. The front strap and mainspring housing are checkered for secure purchase, and the pistol uses a skeletonized, lightened trigger and a skeletonized Commander-style hammer.
Chambered in .45 ACP with a 7+1 capacity, this C3 is a U.S.-made model with the frame marked "SIG SAUER INC., EXETER-NH-USA." The Commander-length 4.2 inch bushing barrel and dovetailed sights complete a feature set that is both refined and purpose-built.
