Frame and slide are DLC-coated. Iron-sight variants carry Novak-pattern three-dot sights; later variants add an optic cut with co-witness Novak sights.

Analysis

Alpha Foxtrot added 9 mm to the same 70 Series steel frame to put a softer-recoiling, cheaper-to-shoot cartridge in the single-stack line without changing lockwork or controls. Government-height guns take common-use 9 mm 1911 magazines; the compact uses the shorter Officer-length magazine. The 9 mm 70 Series is not the aluminum-frame S15, the polymer-module Romulus, or the separately named AF1911-E. It sits in the same mid-tier forged 1911 market as the .45 Auto guns and shows up on the used market in the same uneven way.
