The Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison PX9417 delivers classic 1911 reliability in a modern 9mm platform designed for serious shooters. This pistol combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary materials to create a dependable sidearm that performs consistently across multiple applications.
What Makes This Different
The Garrison features a match-grade stainless steel barrel that provides enhanced accuracy compared to standard production barrels. The blued carbon steel construction offers superior corrosion resistance while maintaining the classic 1911 aesthetic. Unlike entry-level 1911s, this model includes a beavertail grip safety for improved ergonomics and reduced hammer bite during rapid fire sequences.
Key Features
- Match-grade 4.25" stainless steel barrel for enhanced accuracy potential
- Blued carbon steel slide and frame with serrated surfaces for secure grip
- Beavertail grip safety design reduces hand fatigue and improves control
- Thinline wood grips provide classic appearance with comfortable handling
- 9+1 capacity in 9mm Luger chambering for reduced recoil and faster follow-up shots
- Includes two magazines and factory case for immediate deployment
- Compatible with standard 1911 holsters and accessories
This configuration excels in competitive shooting environments where accuracy and reliability matter most. The 9mm chambering reduces felt recoil compared to .45 ACP variants, enabling faster target acquisition during rapid fire strings. The match-grade barrel consistently groups within acceptable precision standards for both competition and defensive applications.
