The 4.5 in barrel is hammer-forged steel and Melonite-treated, paired with a Melonite-treated steel slide for durability. The polymer frame houses Springfield’s Central Operating Group (COG), a removable serialized chassis that simplifies service and modularity.
Controls include an ambidextrous slide stop and a left-side magazine release. Steel sights comprise a front blade with a bright dot insert and a rear square-notch with a ledge. Aggressive front and rear slide serrations aid manipulation, and the 1913-pattern accessory rail provides five usable slots for compatible lights or accessories.
This pistol ships with five factory magazines (two 20-round and three 17-round), supporting the platform’s 20+1 maximum capacity. Interchangeable backstraps and a spare full-size Medium grip module allow tailoring to hand size, while the installed removable grip-tape overlays add traction. The installed Tyrant CNC I.T.T.S. two-tone trigger shoe is paired with the original OEM trigger included in the package.
