Due to the nature of this item, please allow at least 48hrs for the item to be available if choosing our 'In Store Pickup' shipping method.OverviewWith over 100 years of service by military and civilian alike, John Moses Browning’s Model 1911 is one of the most respected and effective service pistols of all time. The short-recoil, semi-automatic design is as timeless as the dependability of its .45 ACP cartridge. Shortly after its official introduction on March 29, 1911, the Model 1911 pistol was soon put to the test in World War I, equipping U.S. Doughboys in the trenches and battlefields of Western Europe with wild success. With the experience of war serving as a guide, several slight changes were made to the venerable design to increase operability for a wider variety of users, emerging as the M1911A1.The Springfield Armory 1911 MIL-SPEC .45 ACP stays true to the M1911A1 principle, offering a firearm both classic and effective with all the advantages of modern technology, such as consistent tolerances and advanced steel, all at a reasonable price. This full size 1911 comes with a trigger that offers a crisp break with no creep and a short, positive reset. Springfield Armory’s MIL-SPEC 1911 can be a strong contender in sport and competition shooting with fantastic accuracy, thanks to its match grade stainless steel barrel. The cocobolo grips pay homage to the original 1911 pattern centered around double diamonds at the grip screws with the addition of the Cross Cannon Springfield Armory logo. Inherent to this design is a 118° grip angle that makes the 1911 one of the most natural pointing and universally ergonomic pistols to date. The forged stainless steel slide and frame present a timeless look that is equally tough and corrosion resistant. The slide serrations make racking and checking slip-free in even the most adverse conditions. With both manual and grip safeties, dependable reliability, and a thin profile, this 1911 can be comfortably carried safely for those looking for a concealed carry or home defense pistol.Key Features
