Features & Specs

• Caliber and Action: Chambered in .45 ACP with a single-action trigger system. The crisp, clean trigger break is a hallmark of the 1911 platform, and this model features an extended beavertail with a tactical memory bump for a high, secure grip.
• Frame and Slide: Forged stainless steel slide with a lightweight aluminum frame. The slide is finished in a durable, non-reflective black Armory Kote, while the frame receives a hard-coat anodized finish for corrosion resistance and reduced weight.
• Safety and Controls: Ambidextrous thumb safety, extended slide release, and a lanyard loop on the mainspring housing. The included two magazines are standard-capacity 7-round units with steel bodies and polymer base pads.

Additional specifications include a fiber-optic front sight and a low-profile combat rear sight, both dovetailed for easy replacement. The Springfield 1911 Loaded LB Operator 45 ACP with Range Bag and 2 Magazines also includes a full-length guide rod and a beveled magazine well for faster reloads.
