The APACHE combines the classic design and ergonomics of the 1911 platform with a wider grip to accommodate a higher-capacity magazine. Popular in competition and tactical use, it offers enhanced firepower without sacrificing the precision and trigger feel the 1911 is known for.
This is what everyone loves about the APACHE and refers to it as “butter.” This coating is highly corrosion resistant against saltwater and rust. The added benefit after long hours of shooting, is that all carbon build up easily wipes away.
An integral feature by Nick Johnson, these deep aggressive grooves cut into the slide on the APACHE pistol provide a better grip for manually racking the slide, especially under stress or competitive conditions.
The thread-on compensator reduces recoil and muzzle rise by redirecting expanding gases upward and outward through a large port. This helps shooters maintain accuracy during rapid fire. It also creates a fantastic competition companion and improves stability.
PVD-coated, competition flat trigger offers enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and a smooth finish for optimal performance in competitive shooting.
Crafted with the highest standards of quality and integrity. Every component reflects our professional gunsmiths' spirit of innovation, hard work, and craftsmanship.

This custom 9mm double-stack 1911 pistol represents the most significant evolution of the 1911 platform since its creation. Under Nick Johnson’s meticulous guidance and the leadership of WATCHTOWER, which boasts extensive experience in special operations combat, the APACHE advances the high-stakes shooting capabilities of the 1911 platform far beyond its predecessors.
Precision machined at WATCHTOWER's headquarters and featuring premium performance parts that incorporate today’s most advanced technologies, the WATCHTOWER APACHE double-stack 1911 is designed for exceptional performance. It comes with a wide tactical-profile grip and a tactical magwell. Each APACHE also includes a thread-on proprietary compensator, an ambidextrous safety, a 4.6-inch Clark/Para ramped 416R threaded barrel, a toolless recoil system, and aggressively styled, meticulously machined and polished slide serrations with a .75-inch compensator port. These features enhance positive manipulation and reduce muzzle flip, resulting in improved accuracy, faster follow-up shots, and mitigated recoil.
Understanding the Devil is in the details, WATCHTOWER holds fast to a zero-tolerance defect rate and backs it up with a lifetime manufacturer-defect warranty.

What Is An Assault Weapon Ban?
An Assault Weapon Ban is a law passed at the state level that restricts or outright prohibits the sale, transfer, possession, or manufacture of certain firearms that the state defines as "assault weapons." These laws vary from state to state, but they typically focus on semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns with certain style features.
FFL Compliance:
FFLs can purchase firearms that are not legal in their state if they are for sale to law enforcement, military, or out-of-state sales. Connecticut is the exception; they can only order firearms to fill law enforcement and military orders and cannot keep regulated firearms as stock.
