Features & Specs

The springfield 1911 mil-spec 45 acp parkerized (ca compliant) retains all the essential characteristics that made the 1911 the standard-issue sidearm for the U.S. military. Each component is machined from forged ordnance-grade steel, then assembled and tested at Springfield Armory’s Geneseo, Illinois facility. The parkerized finish is a phosphate conversion coating that offers superior durability and a non-reflective surface suitable for field use. California compliance is achieved through a fixed magazine release, a loaded chamber indicator, and a magazine disconnect safety, ensuring the pistol meets state roster requirements while maintaining the original Mil-Spec trigger pull and grip angle.
