Overview

The Springfield 1911 Trophy Match 45ACP Stainless Steel is a full-size, single-action pistol chambered in .45 ACP, featuring a 5-inch bull barrel and a fully adjustable target rear sight.

This model incorporates a match-grade trigger with a factory-tuned 4- to 5-pound pull, a skeletonized hammer, and an extended ambidextrous thumb safety.

Collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the Springfield 1911 Trophy Match 45ACP Stainless Steel as a documented production-grade target pistol will find its fit and finish superior to standard production models. Law enforcement professionals and civilian defensive shooters who train extensively with a single-action platform may also benefit from the enhanced sight radius and trigger control this model offers.
