The Legacy Behind The Build
Operation Torch
Operation Torch was more than a campaign name. Launched in November 1942, it was the first major Allied offensive of World War II, bringing American forces into the fight across North Africa and setting the stage for the push into the Mediterranean.
The Torch was built in that same spirit. At its core is the 1911, a platform that has served for more than a century and earned its reputation through two World Wars, generations of service members, and an unmatched trigger system that still sets the standard today. This build is our tribute from the newest generation of warfighters like us, to the Greatest Generation and to the history they passed down.
Their legacy lit the way. Now we carry The Torch.

Built Around The Details
Modern Control Refined Detail
Every surface, control, and component on The Torch was selected to serve the shooter. The result is a double-stack 1911 that blends capacity, control, and hand-fit refinement without losing the character of the original platform.

Direct-Mount Optic System
The slide is cut incorporates a flared captured footprint for direct mounting of Trijicon RMR and SRO optics, keeping the sighting system low, clean, and purpose-built.

Grip + Trigger Control
A custom‑designed Miller Precision 7075 aluminum grip, a moderately aggressive texture, a crisp 2–2.5 lb trigger, and a tuned 15 lb mainspring give the pistol a refined, controlled feel without complicating the platform. An adjustment port on the front of the trigger well allows easy access for fine‑tuning.
