The 4.25" Commander-length configuration uses a bushingless stainless steel bull barrel for consistent lockup and added muzzle weight. The forged-steel slide and frame wear an all-black Cerakote finish specific to this All-Black configuration.
Springfield’s tri-top slide profile is paired with fine 40 LPI flat-top serrations and rear cocking serrations for positive manipulation. The U-Dot sight system combines a tritium/luminescent front with a yellow/green ring and a Tactical Rack U-notch rear.
Ergonomics include a squared trigger guard, grenade-textured front strap and mainspring housing, and slimline VZ G10 grenade-pattern grip panels. A beveled magazine well aids reloads, while the flat-faced solid trigger and skeletonized spur/combat hammer support a clean single-action press.
The extended dustcover integrates a full-length Picatinny accessory rail. Controls and safeties are classic 1911: single-action operation with a thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump. The pistol is made in the USA and includes two 8-round magazines, extra grip panels, a factory pouch, and takedown tools.
