Introducing the Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded Target Stainless Steel, a semi-automatic pistol that is as much a classic piece of American history as it is a practical firearm. This particular model is in good condition, showing signs of prior use and handling, including minor scratches, scuffs, and pitting on the slide and frame. However, the bore condition is excellent, with a clean, mirror finish and sharp rifling. The sale includes the original paperwork, a bore brush, a 10-round magazine, and two 7-round magazines, all housed in the original factory case.
The 1911 Loaded Target Stainless Steel is an enhanced version of the original 1911, which was a standard sidearm for the U.S. Armed Forces from 1911 to 1986. This upgraded model features an extended ambidextrous thumb safety, a beavertail grip safety, a lightweight delta hammer, and an extended trigger for improved handling and performance. The Springfield Armory's craftsmanship is evident in the forged stainless steel slide and frame, and the Cross Cannon double diamond Cocobolo grip. The barrel is a 5" stainless steel match grade with fully adjustable target sights, offering precision and reliability.
With its .45 ACP caliber, this firearm boasts significant stopping power, making it ideal for both target shooting and self-defense. The Single Action Only (SAO) operation requires the hammer to be manually cocked for the first shot, providing a crisp and smooth trigger pull. The high-capacity 10+1 rounds extend your shooting time before reloading is necessary. Owning the Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded Target Stainless Steel is not just owning a firearm, but a piece of American history, revered for its craftsmanship, accuracy, and performance.
