At Legion Precision, we believe a sidearm should be an extension of the shooter. The LPWS2011 Variant 7 is our most comprehensive "Pick Your Options" build to date — a bespoke pistol configured to your exact specifications, not a catalog SKU.
The full Variant 7 configurator is live at legion-precisionweaponsystems.com. Sign up on the product page to lock in your build slot.
Every Variant 7 starts with your frame selection — the foundation of the entire platform. Choose between two configurations based on your intended use.
Competition powerhouse. Full-length slide and barrel for maximum velocity, smoother cycling, and the longest sight radius on the platform. Built for USPSA Open and Limited divisions.
Duty-ready. Compact profile that doesn't sacrifice performance. Faster from the holster with the same LPWS standard of fit and finish. Ideal for carry and Limited-10 competition.
Deep high-traction knurling and a distinctive top window cut. Maximum grip surface. Built for the shooter who demands aggressive manipulation and an unapologetic look.
Strategic lightening cuts with sharp, efficient serrations. Minimizes reciprocating mass for speed while ensuring reliable handling in any conditions.
Elegant, streamlined serrations — ample grip without sacrificing a sleek profile. Performance and sophistication for the shooter who prefers understated precision.
All three patterns perform identically — the choice is pure preference. If you run strong-hand-side press checks and want maximum traction, go Chiraq. If you want speed and a tactical aesthetic, Urban Warfare. If you want clean lines and refinement, Savant.
The Variant 7 pairs with premium grip options from two industry-leading manufacturers. Both are available in aluminum or steel.
The industry benchmark for 2011 grips. Aggressive texture options, multiple profiles, and a track record in competition that speaks for itself. Available in aluminum or steel.
Precision-machined with distinctive grip textures and a refined aesthetic. A strong alternative for shooters who want a different feel and look. Available in aluminum or steel.
Aluminum reduces overall weight — better for longer competition stages and extended carry. Steel adds mass low in the grip, which naturally dampens felt recoil and improves muzzle return. For most competition builds, steel is the call.
The ability to add a second barrel at order time is one of the most underrated features of the Variant 7. You get two complete performance profiles — flat-shooting ported for competition, quiet and suppressor-ready for everything else — without buying two pistols.
Every Variant 7 ships standard with the Atlas Plate System (RMR/SRO footprint included) — LPWS's zero-movement optic mount designed for the widest range of industry footprints with no slide movement under recoil.
You can also pre-select industry-leading Trijicon optics to install at the factory, so your pistol arrives zeroed and ready to run. No gunsmith visit, no separate purchase, no compatibility guesswork.
The Atlas Plate System is modular — if you upgrade or change optics later, you swap the plate, not the slide. Your footprint cut is future-proof from day one.
Because each Variant 7 is built to your exact specifications with artisan-level machining and hand-fitting, please anticipate a 6–12 month lead time. This reflects the time required to source, fit, and test every component to LPWS standards — it cannot be shortened without compromising the build.
Sign up for email notifications directly on the Variant 7 product page — you'll be contacted the moment the full configurator is live and build slots open. Slots are limited and fill quickly.
Once your order is placed, you'll work directly with Carl to finalize your exact configuration — slide pattern, frame length, grips, barrel setup, and optics. No detail gets overlooked.
Zero compromise on parts or precision — the Variant 7 carries the same match-grade machining and high-performance components found across the entire LPWS lineup. Same DNA, same reliability, same Legion Precision standard.
What's different is the configurability. The Variant 7 is the most flexible build platform LPWS has ever offered — you're not choosing from a preset; you're specifying every major component to match your mission, your hand, and your style.
