The forged steel slide and forged carbon-steel frame are finished in matte black Cerakote for a uniform, durable exterior. The match-grade, forged stainless 5 inch barrel is built to tight 1911 tolerances and is paired with a single-action-only fire control system.
Sight regulation uses 3-dot dovetailed units, combining a tritium front sight with white dot and a Tactical Rack rear sight with white dots for fast reference. Front and rear slanted cocking serrations on the slide provide added purchase for administrative handling.
Controls include an ambidextrous manual thumb safety and a grip safety with memory bump. A long, lightened three-hole trigger and a skeletonized commander-style hammer round out the classic 1911 control layout. OD-green textured synthetic grip panels with an aggressive ribbed pattern supply a firm hold.
The dust cover integrates a true Picatinny/M1913 three-slot accessory rail. Markings include OPERATOR and SPRINGFIELD ARMORY with the crossed-cannons crest on the slide, plus SI Geneseo IL USA on the frame with an NM-prefix serial. Capacity is 8+1 with the included steel magazines.
