Features & Specs

When you pick up the Springfield 1911 Loaded 45ACP Stainless Steel, the first thing you notice is the balance. The forged frame and slide are mated with tight tolerances, and the slide-to-frame fit is smooth without being sloppy. The Novak LoMount carry sights are dovetailed front and rear, giving you a low-profile sight picture that snags less on clothing. The checkered frontstrap and arched mainspring housing provide a secure grip, even with sweaty hands.

• Caliber: 45 ACP, with a 5-inch forged stainless steel match-grade barrel and a full-length guide rod for consistent lockup.
