The forged stainless construction defines this Mil-Spec build. Both the slide and frame are forged stainless steel with a uniform stainless finish, providing a solid foundation for the .45 ACP Government-size 5-inch barrel and full-size 1911 platform.
Key Mil-Spec features are present throughout: a GI-style short guide rod with a checkered spring plug, an arched mainspring housing, a spur hammer, and a solid trigger shoe. The slide uses rear cocking serrations only and a lowered, flared ejection port for reliable cycling and easy brass clearance.
Sighting is straightforward with fixed 3-dot sights, including a dovetailed single-dot front and a fixed two-dot rear. Controls include a single-side thumb safety and a grip safety, paired with checkered wood grip panels for a classic, positive hold.
The NM-prefix serial indicates U.S. final assembly and finishing at Springfield Armory’s facility in Geneseo, Illinois. This example is chambered in .45 ACP with an 8+1 capacity and includes five Mec-Gar steel magazines: four 8-rounders and one 7-rounder.
