Features & Specs

• Caliber and Capacity: Chambered in .45 ACP with a single-stack magazine. This configuration ensures a slim grip profile while delivering the terminal performance expected from the caliber.
• Barrel and Finish: 4-inch stainless steel barrel with a Melonite black finish. The longer barrel reduces muzzle flip and provides a full-length sight radius for faster target acquisition.

• Weight and Dimensions: Overall length of 7.2 inches, height of 5.3 inches, and a width of just 0.9 inches. Unloaded weight is approximately 23.5 ounces, making it one of the slimmest .45 ACP pistols available.
• Sights: Low-profile dovetail front and rear sights with white dots for quick alignment. The rear sight is drift-adjustable for windage.
• Frame and Ergonomics: Black polymer frame with an integral beavertail and textured grip panels. The grip angle follows the standard 1911 profile for a natural point of aim.

• Manufacturer Sample Status: This unit is a manufacturer sample meaning it is a new, unissued firearm that may show minor handling marks from storage or display. It is fully functional and covered by Springfield Armorys limited warranty.
• What is Included: One 5-round flush-fit magazine, cable lock, and owners manual. No factory box or additional accessories are included.
