Performance and Design
The 1911 platform has been perfected over 100+ years of service. Springfield Armory builds each pistol using precision CNC machining. The 5-inch match-grade barrel is made from stainless steel and delivers consistent accuracy shot after shot. The bushing barrel design allows for easy disassembly and maintenance.
The forged steel frame provides a solid foundation with no flex. The parkerized finish resists rust and wear while reducing glare.

The ambidextrous thumb safety is extended for easy operation and provides a positive click for confident carry.
The 3-dot combat sights are low-profile to prevent snagging. White dots make target acquisition fast in low-light conditions. The checkered walnut grips provide secure texture without abrasion.
