The TWC™ 9 is where it all started for us, our first venture into the world of 2011s. Though no longer in production, this model set the foundation for everything we’ve built since. It’s a piece of Jacob Grey history, and a testament to the precision and ambition that still drives us today.

The Jacob Grey TWC™ 9, the original “Throwback with Capacity™,” redefined the modern double-stack 1911 with a grip and frame meticulously crafted from aerospace-grade billet 7075 aluminum and finished with military-grade hardcoat anodization. Its 1:10 twist stainless steel barrel delivered exceptional accuracy, while its superb balance ensured a remarkably flat shooting experience. Designed with adaptability in mind, this firearm was fully ready to accommodate modern red dot optics, making it a versatile choice for precision shooters.

The TWC™ 9 was more than a launch, it was a statement. As our first 2011-style pistol, it challenged what a double-stack 1911 could be. We didn’t cut corners or chase trends; we started with aerospace-grade materials, machined every frame in-house, and applied the same obsessive standards we use in our aerospace contracts. Every detail was intentional. From the grip angle to the barrel fit, the TWC™ 9 embodied our philosophy: build it right, or don’t build it at all. While it’s no longer in production, its influence lives on in every firearm we produce. This is the pistol that sparked a legacy.
