Springfield 1911 Loaded Target 9mm Stainless Steel

The Springfield 1911 Loaded Target 9mm Stainless Steel represents a precise convergence of classic 1911 architecture and modern target-shooting engineering. Built by Springfield Armory, this full-size pistol is designed for shooters who demand consistent accuracy, reduced recoil, and a corrosion-resistant platform. Chambered in 9mm, the Loaded Target model allows for extended range sessions with lower ammunition costs and softer felt recoil compared to its .45 ACP counterparts, while retaining the iconic single-action trigger and ergonomics that define the 1911 platform. This stainless steel variant offers durability against the elements and a refined aesthetic that complements its performance-oriented build.

Overview

The Springfield 1911 Loaded Target 9mm Stainless Steel is a purpose-built competition and range pistol that leverages a forged stainless steel frame and slide for longevity and weight distribution. The 5-inch bull barrel, combined with a fully adjustable rear target sight and fiber optic front sight, provides a crisp sight picture for precise shot placement. Springfield Armory has outfitted this model with their Loaded feature set, including a beavertail grip safety, extended thumb safety, and a skeletonized trigger, all tuned for a clean break and rapid follow-up shots. The 9mm chambering reduces muzzle flip and allows for higher round counts without the fatigue associated with larger calibers.
