The Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded delivers match-grade accuracy and premium features in a California-compliant configuration. This full-size pistol combines traditional 1911 reliability with modern enhancements that serious shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
The Loaded series bridges the gap between standard production pistols and custom shop builds. Features typically found on pistols costing twice as much come standard, including a match-grade stainless steel barrel, beavertail grip safety, and premium cocobolo grips with crossed cannon logo. The serrated slide and frame surfaces provide enhanced grip control in all weather conditions.
Key Features
- Match-grade 5-inch stainless steel barrel for superior accuracy
- Beavertail grip safety with memory groove prevents hammer bite
- Cocobolo wood grips with crossed cannon Springfield logo
- Serrated slide and frame surfaces for positive grip control
- California-compliant configuration with loaded chamber indicator
- 7+1 capacity with .45 ACP chambering
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and wear
Accuracy potential exceeds most shooters' capabilities, with the match-grade barrel consistently delivering sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The extended beavertail and memory groove eliminate the sharp bite common with GI-spec 1911s during rapid fire. Competition shooters appreciate the crisp trigger break and reset, while the stainless finish handles daily carry without showing wear.
