Overview

This 1911 variant is purpose-built for suppressed operation and low-light environments. The full-length guide rod, ambidextrous thumb safety, and expertly fitted slide-to-frame tolerances deliver the reliable cycling necessary for subsonic ammunition. The Black Nitride finish provides a low-glare, high-lubricity surface that reduces wear and simplifies maintenance. As a genuine Springfield Armory product, this pistol adheres to the manufacturer’s exacting quality standards while incorporating tactical upgrades that set it apart from standard production models.

Features & Specs

• Threaded Barrel: Factory-installed, 1:16 twist, 5-inch barrel with a thread protector. Designed for direct attachment of suppressors or compensators without aftermarket modification.
• Black Nitride Finish: Salt bath nitriding penetrates the metal surface, creating a case-hardened layer that resists rust, holster wear, and solvent damage. The matte black appearance reduces glare.
• Master Class Trigger: Light, crisp trigger pull with minimal overtravel. The skeletonized trigger and aluminum trigger shoe contribute to a consistent break weight.

Additional specifications include a forged carbon steel slide and frame, Novak LoMount carry sights with tritium inserts, a beavertail grip safety with a raised pad, and an extended magazine release. The pistol ships with one seven-round magazine. Weight is approximately 40 ounces unloaded.
