Anytime I notice a new 1911 on the market, I am interested. But when the new pistol is billed as a \u201cfull-size hybrid 1911?\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m doubly interested!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the case when I read about the FXH-45M Moxie 1911 pistol from American Tactical<\/a>, a US manufacturer and worldwide importer of firearms, ammunition, and tactical equipment. So, I asked for and received a Moxie chambered in .45 AUTO for review purposes. What I discovered was a quality home and self-defense handgun that\u2019s also light enough for concealed carry at 27.5 ounces (unloaded), making it roughly ten ounces lighter than a metal framed 1911 with the same five-inch barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Home defense or concealed carry, the FXH-45M Moxie is ready.<\/strong>
<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Manufactured in the United States, the FXH-45M Moxie features a patented polymer frame with two metal inserts for added stability and durability. The Moxie also features a 4140-steel slide with a parkerized finish. The frame was designed with built-in finger grooves for an ergonomic feel to compliment the black poly grips.
Poly frame aside, the FXH-45M Moxie is pretty much traditional 1911, single action and semi-auto, 5.4-inches in height 8.7 inches long. It also sports a removable top plate that allows for the addition of an optics mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Remove the optic’s plate at the rear of the Moxie’s slide to attach your optic.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Moxie accepts Glock front and rear sights, including aftermarket night sights, and has a rail under the barrel for attaching a light or laser. The oversized trigger guard will accept all but the largest gloved fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new breed of 1911 is compatible with most standard 1911 parts and grips, and ships with one 8-round magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
The Moxie proved very accurate with a variety of ammunition brands and at different distances.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had a handful of loose 45 AUTO rounds, so I first ran those thru the Moxie. The rounds and the semi-auto worked together fine. But for actual accuracy purposes, I focused on one self-defense load\u2014the 230-grain Hydra-Shok JHP from Federal Premium\u2014and two range rounds\u2014a standard 230-grain FMJ load made by Aguila and the Team Never Quit Training Ammunition firing a 155-grain frangible bullet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accuracy? Very impressive with all rounds. The Aguila Ammunition 45 AUTO, at seven yards offhand, drilled a five-shot group at just .75-inches and four shots at 20 yards from a rest at 1.0-inches\u2014pretty damned good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Aguila Ammunition’s 230-grain FMJ range load pegged this five shot, .75″ group at seven yards offhand.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Team Never Quit<\/a> scored four rounds at .80-inches at the seven-yard mark, while shot #5 expanded that group to 1.25-inches. At the 20-yard test, Team Never Quit\u2019s best group for five shots was 2.15-inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Team Never Quit 45 AUTO ammunition with its 155-grain frangible bullet proved very accurate in the Moxie.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My self-defense load, the Federal Premium<\/a> Hydra-Shok, pegged a .80-inch five shot group shooting from the seven-yard line and a very nice five shots at 1.25-inches shooting from a rest at 20-yards. Shot Number Six went wide, but the group still held at 2.0-inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need a firearm that\u2019s more accurate than the Moxie? Buy a rifle and mount a high-end scope on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
At 20 yards and shooting from a rest, Federal’s Hydra-Shok 45 AUTO self defense scored this 1.25″ group.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Moxie\u2019s trigger snapped off nicely at 3.7 pounds according to my Lyman<\/a> Digital Trigger Pull Gauge. The trigger resets quickly, too, as I discovered when I mag dumped several magazines. Grooves cut inside the trigger\u2019s curve helped with providing a steady trigger pull and greater overall stability. And the trigger also looks cool, with a silver-colored finish and the three triangular holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
The Moxie’s cool-looking trigger also features an overtravel adjustment and serrations to help with control.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The sights on the Moxie are good, but they didn\u2019t exactly pop, at least not for these aging eyes. The white line around the rear notch does show up well, as does the dot on the front post. But I did wish both were a little large and slightly higher, to put me on target quicker and easier. And the sights, it should be noted, can be replaced with aftermarket Glock sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
The Moxie’s front post and …<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"A
…rear sight were just a bit smallish for McCombie.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like to put an optic on the Moxie, the top, rear of the slide features a removable plate to allow for the easy installation of the Trijicon RMR and Burris Fastfire Sights. (These optics and adapter plates for them must be purchased separately.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of the checkered black polymer grips and the finger grooves built into the frame\u2019s front strap provided for a firm hold, though I felt the checkering was a little shallow. I like deeper, sharper checkering that really grabs the palm of my shooting hand, but that\u2019s my preference and not a deal breaker when recommending a pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Finger grooves provided added stability.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Moxie disassembles exactly like a 1911 should\u2014push back the slide, pop out the slide stop going from right to left, and ease the slide forward and off. Then, remove the recoil spring and the barrel bushing, and push the barrel out through the front of the slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
A full-sized “hybrid,” the FXH-45 Moxie is at heart a 1911<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A lighter-weight, very accurate pistol, the American Tactical FXH-45 Moxie is a solid handgun, well-suited for home defense. And those who prefer to carry a 1911 but have been put off in the past by the 38 to 40-ounces of all-steel version 1911\u2019s would do well the give this semi-auto a hard look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Six rounds right between the strings at seven yards makes the Moxie a fine concealed carry\/self defense choice.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
