Century Arms Introduces the New Centurion 11 TAC

Built on Tradition. Ready for Today.

Century Arms is proud to announce the launch of the Centurion 11 TAC, a modernized evolution of the popular Centurion 11 pistol, combining the timeless appeal of the iconic 1911 platform with the features demanded by today's shooters.

Built upon the same full-size, steel-frame foundation that made the original Centurion 11 an exceptional value, the Centurion 11 TAC brings the proven 1911 design into the modern era with an RMSc cut optics-ready slide and integrated 1913 Picatinny accessory rail, allowing users to equip popular red dot sights, weapon lights, and laser aiming devices.

The original Centurion 11 earned praise for delivering the classic GI-style 1911 experience at an accessible price point. The new TAC model builds upon that success, offering enhanced versatility for personal defense, training, and range use while maintaining the ergonomics, shootability, and proven .45 ACP performance that have defined the platform for more than a century.

"The Centurion 11 TAC was developed for shooters who appreciate the legacy of the 1911 but want the advantages of modern handgun technology," said Century Arms. "From red dot optics to weapon-mounted lights, today's shooters expect more capability from their handgun. The Centurion 11 TAC delivers those features while staying true to the design that made the 1911 one of the most respected pistols ever produced."

Chambered in .45 ACP, the Centurion 11 TAC features an 8+1 capacity, full-size steel-frame construction, and a single-action trigger system that 1911 enthusiasts know and trust. Its optics-ready configuration and integrated accessory rail make it equally at home on the range, in a home-defense role, or as a modern interpretation of an American classic.
