[SHOT 2023] New Handguns & Merchandise from Alpha Foxtrot

Alpha Foxtrot is bringing out a few new pistols to SHOT Show this year. Known recently for their high-end 1911s, this newer Georgia firearms manufacturer has been making firearms components for the US and global firearms market for 30 years now through their parent company Dasan Machineries of South Korea. Using premium materials they bring in from South Korea, Alpha Foxtrot makes a premium product that oozes quality. The first of their new products for SHOT Show is a pistol I’ve been wanting personally for a hot minute now, an optics-ready S15 1911.

Alpha Foxtrot S15 Optics Cut

They have finally brought out an optics cut model for the S15 1911. The 1911 S15 was originally released last year, a hybrid 9mm 1911 that takes Shield Arms S15 Glock 43x/48 magazines. But now they have released the newest optics-ready s15 with a Shield RMSc mount cut into the slide.  The pistol comes with Night Fision G43x Front and Rear Tritium night sights, the sights co-witnesses with regular height sights. These are available now at Alpha Foxtrot Dealers, pricing for optics ready model starts at $1550  and it will be $1600 for an optics-ready and threaded version.

Alpha Foxtrot DSP9C

The new DSP9C is a new forged aluminum frame Gen 3 Glock 43 clone, with a unique twist compared to their other Glock clone offerings. This compact pistol will have the option to come with a quick-release optics plate. The plates will be available in different patterns but all will fit into the slides of the DSP9C. The optics plate is held into place with a pin that can easily be removed from the rear of the slide. The frame is made of forged 7075-T6 anodized aluminum, the slide and barrel are made of forged stainless steel. Pricing for these starts at $900. They should be available end of Quarter 2, beginning of Quarter 3 of this year.

Alpha Foxtrot AF1911 10mm

Alpha Foxtrot is now offering their AF 1911 in 10mm. This will still be the same Korean steel forged barrel and frame along with their forged 416R stainless slide. All of these have a DLC finish for a glass-like feel, and are hand fitted before being shipped out to buyers. The 10mm 1911 will be available in three configurations; Standard for $1350, Optics Ready for $1400, and Optics Ready with a threaded barrel for $1460. After handling them at Range Day and another time during the show, I can confidently say one of the smoothest feeling 1911s I have personally felt in a long time.
