Springfield Armory Operator 45 ACP 1911 Pistol - Blacked Out Package

The Springfield Armory Operator 45 ACP delivers proven 1911 performance with tactical enhancements designed for serious shooters. This blacked out package configuration combines the reliability of the Operator platform with a complete setup ready for immediate deployment.

What Makes This Different

The Operator series stands apart from standard 1911 pistols through its integral Picatinny rail system and enhanced durability features. While traditional 1911s require aftermarket modifications for tactical accessories, the Operator comes factory-equipped with a full-length rail for lights and lasers. The blacked out finish treatment provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard Parkerizing, extending service life in demanding conditions.

Key Features

• Integral Picatinny rail accommodates tactical lights and laser systems
• Match-grade stainless steel barrel with supported chamber for +P ammunition
• Low-profile combat sights with tritium night sight compatibility
• Ambidextrous thumb safety for left and right-handed operation
• Beveled magazine well for faster reloading under stress
• Forward cocking serrations provide positive slide manipulation
• Delta hammer and lightweight trigger system with 4-5 pound pull weight

Field testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The platform excels in competitive shooting environments where accuracy and reliability matter most. Law enforcement and military users report excellent performance in adverse weather conditions, with the corrosion-resistant finish maintaining function after extended exposure to moisture and debris.
