The Springfield Armory PI6095 delivers the power and performance of the 38 Super cartridge in a classic 1911 platform. This full-size pistol combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision to create a reliable sidearm for competitive shooting and personal protection.
What Makes This Different
The 38 Super cartridge offers superior ballistics compared to standard 9mm, delivering higher velocity and flatter trajectory while maintaining manageable recoil. Springfield's forged steel frame and slide construction provides exceptional durability and dimensional stability. The traditional blued finish offers corrosion resistance while maintaining the classic 1911 aesthetic that shooters have trusted for over a century.
