Tanfoglio has unveiled the Pugio, a unique 1911 crossover pistol that blends the classic 1911 design with modern tactical enhancements – and it should be in the $600-$700 price range. Shown at IWA 2025, the Pugio keeps the single-action trigger, frame-mounted safety, and grip angle of a traditional 1911 but introduces a modular frame, double-stack magazine capacity, and optics-ready capability. Designed for both competition and defensive use, this pistol delivers increased firepower, improved ergonomics, and modernized features while maintaining the precision and reliability expected from Tanfoglio. Could this be the best modernized 1911 platform on the market?
