This .45 ACP variant addresses the needs of law enforcement, military personnel, and civilian operators seeking a duty-grade pistol with the ergonomic mastery and proven track record the 1911 platform delivers.

The 9-round magazine capacity in .45 ACP provides practical firepower while maintaining the pistol's slim, manageable profile—critical when transitioning between holster positions or navigating vehicle entries.
The tight tolerances characteristic of Springfield's manufacturing process deliver the crisp trigger response and cycling reliability that operators depend on when precision matters. At 3.81 pounds, the pistol maintains the weight-to-recoil ratio essential for follow-up shot placement and extended duty carry without fatigue.
