Description
Double-stack 1911s used to mean expensive proprietary magazines that were tough to track down. Fusion Firearms went a different route with the XP Pro and built the frame around Glock 17 pattern mags, so you get 17+1 capacity from magazines you can find on just about any gun store shelf. It is a smart move that keeps the classic single-action feel while solving the biggest headache of the 2011 world.
How the XP Pro Is Built
Fusion machines this pistol from bar-stock materials rather than castings, and it shows in the fit. The steel frame wears a Picatinny rail up front for a light or laser, and the aluminum grip carries a chainlink pattern with a checkered front strap that locks into your hand without chewing it up. A removable magwell speeds up reloads, and the wide paddle slide stop is easy to run under pressure. The 4-inch Clark/Para ramped bull barrel pairs with a one-piece full-length guide rod to keep the muzzle settled between shots, and the ambidextrous thumb safety works for lefties right out of the box.
Optic-Ready Slide with Real Character
The tri-topped Commander-length slide is one of the better looking ones in this price class, with pro cocking serrations and front vent cuts that cut a little weight and a lot of profile. Fixed Novak-compatible combat sights come standard, and the rear sight sits on a removable plate cut for RMR-footprint red dots, so mounting an optic does not mean a trip to the machinist. The Tennifer treatment under the chrome finish gives you serious corrosion resistance along with that bright, easy-to-clean look.
Where the XP Pro Fits
This one makes sense for anyone who loves the 1911 trigger but wants modern capacity, whether that is range days, practical pistol matches, or home defense duty. Two 17-round magazines ship with the pistol, so you are set from the first trip out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines does the Fusion XP Pro use?
The XP Pro is designed around Glock 17 pattern magazines, which is one of its biggest selling points. Instead of hunting down pricey proprietary 2011 mags, you can run the same affordable, widely available magazines that fit a Glock 17. Two 17-round mags come with the pistol.
Can I mount a red dot on the XP Pro Chrome?
Yes. The rear sight sits on a removable plate cut for the RMR footprint, so optics like the Trijicon RMR and other RMR-pattern dots mount directly. If you prefer irons, the fixed Novak-compatible combat sights work great on their own.
Is the XP Pro a true 1911-style action?
It is. The XP Pro runs a single-action 1911-based design with an ambidextrous thumb safety, so you get that crisp, short trigger feel 1911 fans love. The wider double-stack frame just adds capacity and helps soak up recoil.
How durable is the chrome finish on this pistol?
Fusion applies a Tennifer QPQ treatment underneath the chrome, which is the same style of surface hardening found on hard-use duty guns. The result holds up well against holster wear, sweat, and humidity, and the slick surface wipes clean easily after a range session.
