Springfield Armory 1911 Compact .45 ACP 6rd Blued Steel PI4723

The Springfield Armory PI4723 delivers full-size 1911 performance in a compact frame, combining the proven .45 ACP cartridge with enhanced concealability. This blued steel pistol maintains the classic 1911 platform while reducing overall length for easier carry without sacrificing the reliability that made this design legendary.

What Makes This Different

The PI4723 features a 4-inch barrel compared to the standard 5-inch Government model, reducing overall length by nearly an inch while maintaining excellent accuracy potential. The compact frame retains the single-stack magazine design that keeps the grip slim and comfortable. Springfield's forged steel construction and traditional blued finish provide durability that stands up to regular use while maintaining the classic 1911 aesthetic.

• Low-profile combat sights with dovetailed rear sight

Field performance demonstrates the compact platform's versatility across multiple applications. The 4-inch barrel generates sufficient velocity for defensive ammunition while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. Competition shooters appreciate the crisp single-action trigger and inherent accuracy of the 1911 platform. The reduced length makes this suitable for concealed carry while retaining enough sight radius for precision work.
