Carolina Arms Group, a North Carolina based company, announced their new Trenton 1911 line. There are three models available, the Tactical, Stainless, and Two-Tone. Of course, the name comes straight from the Battle of Trenton. Here's what they have to say about it: The Trenton Tactical 1911 frame and slide are American made from forged carbon steel. The Trenton Stainless is Carolina Arms Group's 5″ Executive model built on American made forged stainless steel. The Trenton Two-Tone is also constructed from forged stainless steel. The Tactical frame and slide and the Two-Tone slide are finished with PVD DLC, an attractive black finish that is extremely corrosion and scratch resistant. Trenton 1911's include the patented Kart Precision barrel, which is forged from ordnance steel, to national match specs and accuracy tested to 1.25 – 1.5″ MOA. The Trenton's extended thumb safety is wider than a standard 1911 thumb safety and gives the owner the option of an ambidextrous extended thumb safety. A match worthy 4 lb. adjustable aluminum trigger offers a silky smooth pull with a crisp, audible reset. Carolina Arms Group's proprietary VZ® grips, featuring the Carolina eagle emblem, provide the optimal grip with high end aesthetics.
