The Watchtower Vantage is a full-size, double-stack 1911 pistol chambered in 9mm, with V10 porting machined into both the slide and barrel to push gas downward and limit muzzle rise. Its 5" bull barrel is polished 416R stainless with 5R rifling, a 1:16 twist and a DLC/PVD coating. The pistol is a semi-automatic with a 416R stainless slide on a 17-4 stainless frame. The flat dark earth version is finished in PVD, and its guide rod is polished as well.

The trigger has a flat, machined bow with an aluminum shoe, hand-certified to break at 2.5 lb (±4 oz) with a reset of 0.100" or less, and it works with Doug Koenig fire controls and hammer. Ambidextrous controls include the safety, and the MJD carbon fiber and Kevlar composite grip module takes standard 1911 double-stack magazines. Sighting starts with a fiber-optic front sight and an RMR optic plate, plus an optional removable rear blade. Two stainless steel magazines come in the box, one 126mm and one 140mm, for a 20-round capacity.
