Description
The XP Pro came out of a collaboration between Fusion Firearms and Ermox, and the big idea behind it is simple: build a double-stack 1911 that runs on Glock 17 pattern magazines instead of pricey 2011-style mags. That one decision changes the whole ownership experience. Spare mags are everywhere, they cost a fraction of what dedicated double-stack 1911 magazines run, and you may already have a drawer full of them. This chrome version ships with two 10-round magazines, and the classic single-action trigger and thumb safety layout will feel right at home to anyone who has spent time behind a 1911.
How the XP Pro Chrome Is Built
Fusion machines the XP Pro from bar stock on CNC equipment rather than using castings, and it shows in the details. The 4-inch slide is tri-topped with pro cocking serrations and front vent cuts, riding over a Clark/Para ramped bull barrel and a one-piece full-length guide rod. The steel frame wears a Tennifer treatment with a hard chrome overcoat for corrosion resistance, set off against black accents for a sharp two-tone look. Aluminum grips with a chainlink texture, a checkered front strap, a removable magwell, and a wide paddle slide stop round out a genuinely well-thought-out feature set. At 35.5 ounces, it has enough heft to keep 9mm recoil feeling soft and flat.
Optic Ready Out of the Box
The rear sight sits on a removable plate, so you get usable Novak-style fixed combat sights from day one, and when you are ready to run a red dot, the included RMR plate lets you mount RMR-footprint optics without hunting down extra hardware. That covers a huge range of popular micro dots.
Where the Fusion XP Pro Fits
With a commander-length 4-inch barrel, this pistol splits the difference nicely between range gun and practical carry-size handgun. It gives you 1911 ergonomics and trigger feel with modern magazine logistics and optics support, which is a combination that used to cost considerably more to put together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines does the Fusion XP Pro use?
It is built around Glock 17 pattern magazines, which is one of the smartest things about this design. Instead of tracking down expensive dedicated double-stack 1911 mags, you can grab spares almost anywhere for a fraction of the cost. This model ships with two 10-round magazines in the box.
Can I mount a red dot on the XP Pro?
Yes. The rear sight sits on a removable plate, and Fusion includes an RMR mounting plate so you can install RMR-footprint optics like the Trijicon RMR or SRO without buying extra adapters. Until you add a dot, the Novak-style fixed combat sights work fine on their own.
Is the XP Pro a true 1911 in terms of trigger and controls?
It keeps the 1911 DNA where it counts: a single-action design with a steel one-piece milled trigger, a thumb safety, and familiar 1911 ergonomics. The frame is machined from bar stock steel rather than cast, and it adds modern touches like a Picatinny rail, a removable magwell, and a wide paddle slide stop.
How does the chrome finish hold up?
The chrome version starts with a Tennifer treatment, the same hard nitride-style process known for wear and corrosion resistance, then adds a hard chrome overcoat on the slide and frame. That layered approach gives you a durable working finish, not just a pretty one. The barrel keeps its black Tennifer finish for a sharp two-tone contrast.
