XP 3C Black – 3 Inch Double Stack 1911 Tenifer® QPQ | Glock® 19 Magazine Compatible 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 Glock® 19 pattern magazines 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.
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.
