Description
The 1911 platform has been around for over a century, and there's a reason people still reach for it. The feel, the trigger, the pointability — it's hard to beat. What EAA and Girsan did with the Untouchable MC1911S is take that proven formula and bolt on the kind of features that used to cost a lot more. You get a steel frame, steel slide, 5-inch barrel, and a black Cerakote finish on a full government-size pistol that's ready to run in 9mm.
What the MC1911S Untouchable Brings to the Table
The feature list here is genuinely impressive for this price range. Up front, you've got both front and rear slide serrations, which makes press checks and one-handed manipulation significantly easier. The skeletonized hammer pairs with a well-fitted extended beavertail grip safety to push hammer bite out of the equation while encouraging a solid, high grip. The ambidextrous thumb safety is extended just enough to be functional without getting in your way in a holster. Throw in a flared and beveled magwell, a four-slot Picatinny rail on the dustcover, and low-profile 3-dot sights, and you've got a platform that's legitimately set up for real use.
How the Untouchable MC1911S Shoots
Girsan builds these in Giresun, Turkey, in a modern manufacturing facility, and the quality control shows in the slide-to-frame fit and barrel-to-bushing fitment. The action out of the box is smooth for a stock gun, and the single-action trigger breaks cleanly with minimal creep — exactly what you'd want from a Series 70-style design. The steel frame soaks up recoil well, and 9mm in a full-size all-steel package is genuinely easy to shoot fast and accurately. The hexagonal textured grip panels combined with a checkered mainspring housing and textured frontstrap keep the gun planted in the hand during rapid fire.
This is a solid pick for 1911 fans who want a go-to range gun, a home defense pistol with a classic manual of arms, or a platform to build on down the road. Standard 1911 parts compatibility means aftermarket options are plentiful if you want to upgrade sights, grips, or anything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the EAA Girsan MC1911S Untouchable use standard 1911 magazines?
The Untouchable MC1911S in 9mm uses single-stack 9mm 1911-pattern magazines. The included MecGar magazine is a known quality brand, and additional MecGar and other standard 9mm 1911 mags are widely available. The flared and beveled magwell on this model makes reloads noticeably faster and smoother than a standard 1911 magwell.
What is the trigger pull like on the Untouchable MC1911S out of the box?
As a Series 70-style single-action design, the trigger on the MC1911S breaks cleanly with minimal creep, which is one of the real selling points of the 1911 platform in general. Out of the box it tends to run heavier than a tuned 1911, but the break is crisp. If you want a lighter pull, the standard 1911 internals make it easy to upgrade with aftermarket parts from brands like Wilson Combat.
Can I mount a light or laser on the MC1911S Untouchable?
Yes. The MC1911S Untouchable features a four-slot Picatinny accessory rail on the dustcover, which is standard on the S and C variants of the Untouchable line. This lets you mount most standard weapon lights or laser units without any modifications to the pistol.
Where is the Girsan Untouchable MC1911 made?
Girsan manufactures these pistols in Giresun, Turkey. The company has been producing firearms since 1993 and operates one of the more advanced manufacturing facilities in that country. EAA Corp, based in Cocoa, Florida, handles importation and distribution in the United States.
Is the Untouchable MC1911S a good fit for home defense?
For someone already comfortable with the 1911 manual of arms, it fits that role well. The full-size steel frame makes it easy to shoot accurately under stress, and 9mm gives you good capacity and manageable recoil in a proven platform. The ambidextrous thumb safety and extended beavertail are both practical upgrades for a defensive role, and the Picatinny rail lets you add a weapon light if needed.
How does the 9mm version of the Untouchable compare to the .45 ACP version?
The 9mm model gives you one extra round in the magazine — 9+1 versus 8+1 for the .45 — along with reduced recoil and typically lower ammo costs, which makes a real difference for range sessions. Both share the same frame, controls, and feature set, so the choice really comes down to caliber preference. The 9mm version in a heavy steel frame is an exceptionally flat and easy-shooting combination.
