At Second and Eleven, we appreciate craftsmanship that honors tradition while embracing innovation. When the original Quantico HiCap launched in 2021, it redefined what a double-stack 1911 could be—blending old-school hand-fitted precision with a retro aesthetic that set it apart from modern polymer-framed competitors. Now, we’re excited to introduce its slightly shorter counterpart: the Quantico HiCap Carry.
Designed for Performance and Heritage
Built in America by American hands with American-made parts, the Quantico HiCap Carry stays true to its roots. This compact version of its full-size sibling features a 4.25” barrel while maintaining the same exceptional build quality and performance. With a precision guarantee of better than 1.5” at 25 yards, this isn’t just a sidearm—it’s a statement.
Key features include:
- Ambidextrous Thumb Safety for smooth handling
- Red Fiber Optic Front Sight for quick target acquisition
- Extended Slide Stop for ease of operation
- 30LPI Hand-Checkered Mag Catch for superior grip and control
- New Carbon Fiber & Kevlar Polymer Grip Module (available starting Q4 2023)
For those who appreciate a sidearm that ages with use, the Bead Blast Blue finish gives a truly unique look, wearing over time like a well-loved leather jacket. But if durability is your preference, optional Hard Chrome and DLC finishes provide enhanced resistance to wear and the elements.
A Caliber for Every Shooter
Staying true to John Browning’s legacy, the Quantico HiCap Carry is available in both 9mm and .45 ACP. Whether you prefer the legendary stopping power of the 11+1 .45 ACP standard magazine (or 14+1 with the extended mag) or the higher capacity of the 17+1 9mm magazine (or 20+1 with the extended mag), this pistol delivers serious firepower in a refined package.
More Than Just a Gun—It’s a Legacy
The Quantico HiCap Carry isn’t for those looking for just another pistol—it’s for those who demand excellence, tradition, and performance in a single platform. Whether you’re a dedicated 1911 enthusiast or someone who simply values precision engineering, this pistol offers everything you need and nothing you don’t.
