Overview

Springfield Armory’s Loaded series is designed to bridge the gap between mil-spec 1911s and fully custom builds. The Springfield 1911 Loaded 45ACP Stainless Steel comes standard with features that are often aftermarket upgrades on other pistols: a forged slide and frame, match-grade barrel, and an improved sight system. The stainless steel finish is both functional and aesthetic, resisting sweat, humidity, and holster wear. This pistol ships with two 7-round magazines and a full-length guide rod, ensuring out-of-box readiness for demanding applications.
