Overview

The Springfield 1911-A1 Mil-Spec 45ACP Stainless Steel is a faithful reproduction of the classic U.S. military sidearm, manufactured by Springfield Armory with exacting tolerances. It features a stainless steel frame and slide, a 5-inch barrel chambered in .45 ACP, and a matte stainless finish that resists rust and wear. Unlike many modern variants, this model retains the original GI-style sights, short trigger, and arched mainspring housing, making it an ideal choice for purists who want an authentic shooting experience. The pistol ships with one 7-round magazine and a standard military-style lanyard loop.

Features & Specs

• Forged stainless steel frame and slide with a matte bead-blasted finish for corrosion resistance and low-glare tactical appearance
• 5-inch hammer-forged barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, chambered in .45 ACP for proven stopping power
• Mil-Spec trigger with a factory pull weight of approximately 5-6 pounds, featuring a short, crisp reset optimized for combat accuracy
• Fixed GI-style blade front sight and a drift-adjustable rear sight with a square notch, providing a clear sight picture under stress
• Standard thumb safety, grip safety, and manual slide stop, all machined from steel to military specifications

Additional specifications include an overall length of 8.6 inches, a height of 5.5 inches, an unloaded weight of 39 ounces, and a magazine capacity of 7+1 rounds. The pistol accepts all standard 1911-A1 magazines and holsters, ensuring broad compatibility with existing gear. The stainless steel construction of this springfield 1911-a1 mil-spec 45acp stainless steel model eliminates the need for a parkerized finish while maintaining the same dimensional tolerances as the original government-issue sidearm.
