The forged carbon-steel slide and frame wear a Parkerized gray-green finish, paired with a stainless-steel barrel and bushing for durability. This is the Government-size 5-inch configuration with a GI-style short guide rod and a checkered recoil spring plug.
Controls are true to the Mil-Spec pattern, including a single-side thumb safety, grip safety, standard magazine release, and a spur hammer. The arched mainspring housing has vertical serrations, the front strap is smooth, and the pistol is fitted with checkered hardwood grips.
Sight regulation is handled by fixed 3-dots: a staked front blade with a white dot and a dovetailed rear with two white dots. The slide includes rear cocking serrations and a lowered/relieved ejection port. The Springfield Armory crossed-cannons rollmark is present on the slide.
Chambered in .45 ACP, this full-size 1911 ships with three 8-round magazines, each with witness holes and bumper pads, supporting an 8+1 capacity when topped off. The overall setup reflects a practical, service-style 1911 with classic handling and modernized usability.
