XP 3C Black – 3 Inch Double Stack 1911

Tenifer® QPQ | compatibility with magazines for GLOCK G19 pistols

Available in Standard or Integrated Ambi Thumb Ledge Models

The Ultimate All-Steel Compact Carry 1911

The Fusion Firearms XP 3C Black is the next evolution of the modern concealed carry pistol — a 3 inch double stack 1911 chambered in 9mm that accepts magazines compatible with GLOCK G19 pistols, engineered directly from real shooter feedback.

Purpose-built for those who demand compact size without sacrificing control, durability, or capacity, the XP 3C blends classic 1911 trigger precision with modern ergonomics and double-stack performance.

Now available in both standard configuration and an advanced integrated ambidextrous thumb ledge model.

Tenifer® QPQ Black Finish – Hardened From Within

The XP 3C Black features a Tenifer® QPQ finish applied to the all-steel frame and slide. This advanced salt bath ferritic nitrocarburizing process penetrates the steel at a molecular level, increasing hardness and corrosion resistance far beyond traditional coatings.

Unlike paint or Cerakote, Tenifer becomes part of the metal itself.

Benefits of Tenifer QPQ:

• Exceptional corrosion resistance

• Increased surface hardness

• Extreme wear durability

• Deep matte tactical black appearance

• Resistance to chipping or peeling

For a compact 3 inch carry pistol exposed to sweat, humidity, and daily holster wear, Tenifer ensures long-term durability.

Integrated Ambidextrous Thumb Ledge (Optional Model)

The XP 3C is available in a performance-driven integrated ambi thumb ledge configuration, precision-machined directly into the frame.

Unlike add-on gas pedals or bolted components, this thumb ledge is part of the structure itself — resulting in:

• Increased recoil control

• Faster follow-up shots

• Improved grip indexing

• Ambidextrous support for left- and right-handed shooters

• Clean, factory-integrated appearance

This feature turns the XP 3C into a true performance carry pistol without compromising concealability.

Redesigned Aluminum “Pew View” Inspired Grip Module

After extensive customer feedback, the XP 3C introduces a refined aluminum grip module, engineered for enhanced control.

Upgrades include:

• Aggressive updated grip texture

• High undercut trigger guard for a higher grip position

• Scallop cut beavertail area for deeper hand placement

• Optimized double-stack ergonomics

The aluminum construction provides rigidity and balance while maintaining carry-friendly weight.

Enhanced Slide Texture – Shared With the XP Comp

The XP 3C features the aggressive slide texture introduced on the XP Comp model, providing:

• Confident manipulation

• Improved control under stress

• Modern performance styling
