Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Fusion Firearms XP Pro Comp an affordable 2011?

The Fusion Firearms XP Pro Comp is considered affordable because it's manufactured in Turkey, which lowers production costs. Additionally, its compatibility with readily available and inexpensive Glock magazines significantly reduces the overall cost of ownership compared to traditional 2011s that require proprietary magazines.

How reliable is the Fusion Firearms XP Pro Comp after 5000 rounds?

After 5000 rounds, the Fusion Firearms XP Pro Comp demonstrated good reliability. The reviewer experienced only two malfunctions: a failure to lock open with a PMAG (attributed to the magazine) and a single stovepipe, which was potentially caused by a forward-mounted optic or a very dirty extractor. The gun ran well with minimal cleaning.

What are the key features of the Fusion Firearms XP Pro Comp?

Key features include its steel frame, compensated barrel, and compatibility with Glock magazines. It's available in hard chrome or Tenifer finishes. The updated version boasts improved grip texture, better grip profiling, and more usable slide serrations, enhancing its handling and performance.

Should I consider the ported version of the Fusion XP Pro?

The reviewer advises against the ported version. They believe the standard compensated model shoots flat enough and that ports can make the gun more sensitive to ammunition type and cleanliness, potentially leading to more malfunctions. The non-ported version is recommended for broader reliability.
