The Compact 3.5" configuration uses a forged, DLC-coated stainless bull barrel and a bushingless recoil system to pair a short slide with robust lockup. The forged carbon-steel slide wears a Black Cerakote finish and is cut with front and rear serrations for confident manipulation.
Springfield’s Agency Optic System (AOS) provides an optics-ready interface via a removable plate with an integral ledge-style rear sight. A dovetailed front sight with a single dot rounds out the iron sights, giving a clear, durable sight picture out of the box.
The forged carbon-steel frame mates to a textured polymer double-stack grip module, keeping weight down while preserving a 2011-style geometry. Controls include an ambidextrous thumb safety and grip safety, with a skeletonized hammer and a curved, three-hole skeletonized trigger.
An integral accessory rail supports common weapon lights or accessories. The pistol accepts compact 15-round and extended DS magazines; this example includes two 15-round magazines and one 17-round magazine for a total on-board capacity of up to 17+1 rounds.
MSRP is listed at $1,549.
