Karl Lippard - Military Weapons Division

The Combat NCO®1911 A2® - a completely new pistol design, patented and trademarked.

With 39 new designs and innovations created by Karl Lippard, covered by 11 new US patents (the first new US patents awarded in the 1911 shooting system in more than 100 years), the Lippard 1911 A2® pistol is the world’s most durable, most reliable and most accurate semi-automatic handgun.

Significantly, Karl Lippard purposefully designed all Model 1911 A2 and A3 handgun components and parts to fully retrofit and upgrade all existing makes and brands of 1911-style pistols that comply with the original M1911 and M1911A1 design specifications. Thus, most existing 1911-style handguns easily accept the Lippard A2 and A3 New Generation shooting systems.
