Features & Specs

Every component of the Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec 45 ACP Parkerized (CA Compliant) is engineered for durability and consistent operation. The parkerized finish resists corrosion and reduces glare, while the mil-spec trigger, hammer, and grip safety remain true to the original design. Key specifications include:

• Caliber: .45 ACP; barrel length: 5 inches; forged carbon steel frame and slide with parkerized finish
• Mil-Spec Novak-style dovetail front sight and low-profile rear sight for fast target acquisition
• CA compliant: includes a chamber load indicator, magazine disconnect safety, and a 10-round magazine

Additional features include an extended beavertail grip safety with a memory bump, a standard thumb safety, and a serrated trigger with a 5- to 6-pound pull. The magazine well is beveled for faster reloads, and the checkered walnut grips provide a secure hold in all conditions.
