This MC Operator is configured in the classic Government-length 5 inch format with a GI-style recoil system. The match-grade stainless steel barrel and bushing setup support precise lockup, while the forged steel slide and frame provide durability and proper 1911 weight and balance.
The pistol wears a two-tone finish with an olive drab green forged carbon steel frame and a matte black slide. It includes forward and rear slide serrations, the Springfield Armory crossed-cannons crest, and "OPERATOR CAL .45" slide markings. The NM-prefix serial adds desirable factory production context.
Controls and ergonomics are well-appointed: ambidextrous thumb safety, beavertail grip safety, long skeletonized three-hole trigger, and a skeletonized commander-style rowel hammer. Pachmayr wraparound rubber grips offer a secure, hand-filling hold. The magazine release is standard.
Low-light capability comes from 3-dot tritium night sights, with a Trijicon front sight and a low-profile rear. An integral three-slot Picatinny dust-cover rail supports accessory attachment. Capacity is 7+1, and this pistol ships with two 7-round magazines, plus a factory hard case and Springfield 11-Gear holster and magazine pouch.
