The 4-inch barrel is a bull, bushingless, fully supported, and ramped design that feeds .45 ACP reliably while maintaining a compact overall length. This configuration pairs the controllability of the 1911 platform with a shortened slide and Commander-length profile.
Both the forged slide and the forged lightweight alloy frame wear Springfield’s Black Armory Kote finish. The dustcover incorporates an integral three-slot Picatinny accessory rail, and the slide has rear cocking serrations with a clean, no-front-serration profile.
Sighting is fast and low-profile with dovetailed 3-dot tritium night sights, including a Trijicon-marked front blade (H3 14). Controls include a left-side manual thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory pad. The hammer is a skeletonized commander-style, and the long three-hole aluminum trigger includes an over-travel adjustment screw.
This pistol has VZ Grips installed in black/gray textured panels for secure purchase. The mainspring housing appears flat and textured, while the front strap appears smooth. Rollmarks include "SPRINGFIELD INC GENESEO IL USA," and the factory case label confirms model identification with SKU PX9115LP. The LW serial prefix corresponds to its lightweight alloy frame construction.
