Springfield 1911 Marine Corps Operator 45 ACP with Range Bag and 2 Magazines

Overview

The Springfield 1911 Marine Corps Operator 45 ACP with Range Bag and 2 Magazines represents a direct lineage to the sidearm carried by United States Marine Corps forces. Built on a forged carbon steel frame and slide, this full-size 1911 platform delivers the accuracy and reliability expected from Springfield Armory.
