Jacob Grey is cranking up the heat in the double-stack 1911 arena with the announcement of the new Hex Pro, hot on the heels of its 2025 award-winning TWC Hex platform. Slated to hit dealer shelves in February, this evolution promises refined ergonomics, enhanced modularity, and that signature Grey precision engineering that turns heads at ranges and competitions alike. If the original Hex redefined what a high-capacity 1911 could be—blending classic John Browning aesthetics with modern polymer grip frames and optics-ready slides—the Pro version amps it up with rumored upgrades like improved trigger pulls, better recoil mitigation, and expanded caliber options. It’s not just a refresh; it’s Grey doubling down on a platform that’s already carving out real estate in the hearts of 2A enthusiasts tired of cookie-cutter striker-fired dominance.
What makes this drop particularly juicy for the pro-2A crowd is the timing and implications amid a market flooded with budget polymer pistols. Grey’s move signals confidence in the enduring appeal of 1911 ergonomics—those buttery-smooth actions and single-action triggers that Glocks and SIGs can only dream of emulating—while delivering double-stack capacity without compromising concealability or shootability. In an era of increasing regulatory scrutiny on magazines and features, the Hex Pro’s tactical workhorse (TWC) roots position it as a versatile defender: home defense beast by night, USPSA gamer by day. For builders and customizers, the modular design opens doors to endless personalization, reinforcing Grey’s ethos that the Second Amendment thrives on innovation, not imitation. Expect this to spark a ripple effect, pressuring competitors like Staccato and Springfield to innovate faster, ultimately benefiting shooters with more choices and better tech.
Bottom line: Jacob Grey isn’t just following up an award-winner; they’re leading the charge toward a 1911 renaissance. If you’re in the market for a pistol that honors tradition while embracing the future, mark your calendar for February—this one’s poised to be a game-changer for serious 2A patriots.
