The springfield 1911-a1 mil-spec 45acp stainless steel is a direct descendant of the sidearm that served the United States military for nearly a century.

For shooters who demand a reliable, no-nonsense .45 ACP handgun, this model delivers the proven performance of a classic platform without unnecessary embellishments.

Overview

The springfield 1911-a1 mil-spec 45acp stainless steel is built to the exact specifications that defined the 1911A1 service pistol.

The pistol is chambered in .45 ACP and functions with the time-tested single-action trigger system that shooters have relied on for over a century.
