Fusion 1911 Bantam-R Defender Pistol 9mm 3 in. Black
The Fusion 1911 Bantam-R Defender is a compact, all-steel 1911 in 9mm built on a Series 70 pattern with a 3-inch barrel and traditional styling. It combines precision CNC-machined slide, frame and barrel with a heavy-duty chrome-lined barrel and fitted barrel-to-slide lockup for consistent accuracy. The pistol features premium red cocobolo hardwood grips and Novak-compatible dovetail sight cuts for straightforward sight upgrades. For a red-dot option under $1,000 that pairs with compact 1911s, consider a compact micro red dot such as the Holosun 507 series or similar small reflex sights; note this model is not drilled and tapped so mounting options may require an adapter or slide work.
