The Girsan MC1911 S Influencer is a 1911-style semi-automatic pistol chambered in .38 Super. The .38 Super caliber produces flatter trajectories and somewhat less felt recoil than a .45 ACP in the same platform, which makes it popular in competitive circles. The Black Multicam finish gives it a distinctive look that goes beyond a standard matte black pistol.
