Davidson's has once again teamed up with Girsan, imported by European American Armory, to develop yet another Exclusive 1911 offering.
Chambered in .45 Auto, the ''XLV'' features a 5'' barrel.
The XLV is loaded with features normally found on much higher-priced 1911 pistols. It has an enlarged, extended slide release, ambidextrous extended thumb-safety, extended beavertail, memory bump grip safety, serrated combat-style skeletonized hammer and includes checkering on both the mainspring housing as well as the front strap of the grip.
The trigger guard is generously flared on both sides for ease of trigger reach for both left- and right-handed shooters while maintaining a high grip.
Grip panels are diamond-checkered black plastic with the Girsan logo and the front and rear sights are dovetail cut and fixed. The trigger is a medium sized, non-skeletonized, with vertical serrations on the face. The ejection port is generously extended and flared and the entire slide and steel frame is dressed with a durable Davidson's Dark Earth cerakote finish. Included is one eight-round magazine. Rear vertical angled serrations on the slide complete the package.

Caliber Dictionary

The 45 ACP (45 Auto) was designed by John Browning in 1905 for his prototype semiautomatic pistol that eventually became the legendary Colt 1911, using a .452-inch bullet. Browning proposed a 200-grain bullet; U.S. Army Ordnance, smarting from reports of poor performance of the 38 Long Colt in the Philippines, increased bullet weight to 230 grains for greater stopping power...and the 45 ACP as it is today was adopted in 1911. It remains an iconic and popular handgun cartridge for personal defense and competition, and was used by the U.S. military in submachine guns (Thompson and M3) through the 1970s. Although largely replaced by the 9mm for military use and the 9mm and/or 40 S&W in the law enforcement community, the 45 ACP is still used by the U.S. military and numerous law enforcement agencies in various applications. The standard load remains a 230-grain bullet at 780 to 850 fps, but lighter, faster bullets from 165 to 200 grain, delivering a bit less recoil, are also available. — Craig Boddington
