First Look: Watchtower Firearms Apache Coyote

Watchtower Firearms has released its new Apache Coyote, a stunning new evolution of the original Apache double-stack 1911, now finished with a proprietary Matte Copper PVD coating. The Apache Coyote’s Matte Copper PVD finish delivers a rich, non-reflective tone that offers both battle-worn elegance and advanced protection against wear and corrosion. This edition retains the performance of the original Apache such as tactical-profile grips, an intuitive double-stack magazine well, a crisp trigger pull and ambidextrous safety controls that come together to combine handling and accuracy.
Machined from pre-hardened 4140 and 416R stainless steel, the Apache Coyote features a 4.25-inch slide, a 4.6-inch barrel and Watchtower’s competition-ready engineering to make it a natural extension of the shooter’s hand. With its roots in the original Apache 1911, the Coyote is a representation of Watchtower’s commitment to precision, durability, and unmatched performance.
“The new Apache Coyote is a tribute to the legacy of our original Apache 1911, now elevated with a proprietary finish that makes it truly one of a kind,” said Graham Kolymeyer, COO at Watchtower. “We built this limited edition to perform at the highest level while standing out from anything else on the range. With only 100 being produced, each one is a collector’s piece ready for real-world action.”
