Springfield 1911 Garrison 45 ACP 4.25" Stainless Barrel 7+1

The Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison delivers classic 1911 performance with modern manufacturing precision in 45 ACP. This pistol combines traditional design elements with contemporary quality control standards to produce a reliable sidearm for both recreational shooting and serious 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 authentic 1911 aesthetic. Springfield's forged frame and slide construction delivers structural integrity that exceeds cast alternatives, ensuring consistent lockup and timing through extended firing cycles.

Key Features

• Match-grade 4.25" stainless steel barrel for enhanced accuracy potential
• Forged carbon steel slide and frame with traditional blued finish
• Extended beavertail grip safety for improved hand positioning
• Thinline cocobolo wood grips provide secure purchase without bulk
• GI-style sights with dovetailed rear for easy replacement
• Single-stack 7-round magazine capacity in 45 ACP

The 4.25" barrel length strikes an optimal balance between velocity retention and maneuverability. This configuration maintains the full-size grip frame for control while reducing overall length by 0.75" compared to Government models. The match-grade barrel typically produces groups under 2.5" at 25 yards with quality ammunition. Weather resistance comes from the traditional blued finish and stainless barrel combination.
