Introducing the Girsan Influencer X: A Budget-Friendly Handgun for Comfortable Shooting

The Girsan Influencer X, a new handgun from European American Armory (EAA Corp), is making waves in the firearms industry with its impressive features and affordable price point.

Built on a forged steel frame, slide, and barrel, the Influencer X is available in three popular calibres: .38 Super, .45 ACP, and 10 mm Auto, as well as the 9 mm Luger cartridge, which adds almost 41 ozs to its weight. The overall length of this handgun is 8.75", and it boasts an MSRP of $709.

One of the standout features of the Influencer X is its slide, which has an RMSc optic cut and is finished with Black Cerakote. This optic cut allows for the easy attachment of red-dot sights, enhancing accuracy and speed. The slide also includes serrations at the front and rear, and lightening cuts at the front for added aesthetics.

The stock panels of the Influencer X have aggressive grip texturing and a thumb cutout for improved trigger reach, making it comfortable to hold and shoot. The front strap and mainspring housing feature clean checkering for a secure grip.

The Influencer X's oversized magazine well funnel ensures easy reloads, while its exceptionally well-tuned trigger has a clean, crisp pull, making it a pleasure to shoot. Recoil is minimal, making it an incredibly comfortable-to-shoot platform, especially when handling the latter big-bore chamberings, particularly when it comes to hot loads.

The Influencer X also comes with a fully adjustable, target-style rear sight with a blacked-out, serrated face and a white-dot front sight, ensuring precision in aiming. Removing the rear sight base reveals a milled slide cutout that accepts all Shield RMSc-pattern red-dot optics.

Another premium feature of the Influencer X is the inclusion of bilateral thumb safety levers, a feature typically found in more expensive models. EAA Corp. accuracy-tests each Influencer X and includes the target in the box.

In summary, the Girsan Influencer X is a budget-friendly handgun that offers a host of premium features, making it an excellent choice for shooters looking for a comfortable, accurate, and reliable handgun.
