Built on a forged carbon steel frame and slide, this pistol delivers the heft and durability expected from a service-grade sidearm. The 5-inch barrel, coupled with a stainless steel barrel bushing, provides the inherent accuracy for which the 1911 platform is renowned. Each component is precision-fitted to Springfield Armory’s exacting tolerances, ensuring reliable cycling and consistent lock-up. The inclusion of an integral Picatinny rail on the dust cover allows for direct attachment of lights or lasers without the need for aftermarket modifications.
