The Springfield 1911 Loaded 45ACP Stainless Steel represents a benchmark in the production-grade 1911 platform, combining forged components with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel finish.

Overview

The Springfield 1911 Loaded 45ACP Stainless Steel is a full-size, single-action semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP. It features a forged carbon steel slide and frame, both treated with a brushed stainless steel finish for enhanced durability and resistance to environmental factors. The pistol comes standard with a 5-inch match-grade barrel, front and rear slide serrations, and a lowered and flared ejection port for reliable cycling. The inclusion of a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump, an extended thumb safety, and a skeletonized aluminum trigger makes this model a direct descendant of custom-tuned 1911s, available from the factory.
