The mainspring housing is flat, checkered 20 LPI, and made from stainless steel. Overall length is 8.6 inches, height is 5.5 inches, and empty weight is 39 ounces.

Who It’s For

This pistol is suited for shooters who want a stainless steel 1911 with factory-upgraded components without paying custom shop prices. The Springfield 1911 Loaded 45ACP Stainless Steel works for range practice, USPSA Single Stack competition, and home defense. The stainless construction and durable finish make it a strong candidate for those who carry in humid or coastal environments. It is also appropriate for collectors who value a forged frame and slide with a traditional Series 70 action. If you prefer a 1911 with a recoil spring plug and a standard barrel bushing, this model retains both.
