Overview

The Springfield Armory 1911 is a handgun chambered in .45 ACP, a caliber long associated with the 1911 platform since its original design. This model features a 5-inch barrel, a length classified as full-size within the 1911 lineup, which typically contributes to a longer sight radius compared to compact variants. Standard capacity is 8 rounds, consistent with traditional single-stack 1911 magazine configurations. As a member of the 1911 family, this handgun follows the design lineage originally developed for the U.S. military, characterized by a single-action trigger mechanism and a box magazine. These specifications reflect a classic full-size 1911 configuration in .45 ACP.
