1911 Mil-Spec Handguns

Don’t be fooled by imposters. Like bearded, flannel-clad hipsters, a lot of 1911s out there only look the part. The Mil-Spec, however, is true to its roots and rugged to its core.

Built on a forged frame and slide the Mil-Spec carries on Springfield Armory®’s long legacy of quality 1911s. Traditionally styled and built on a full-size frame the Mil-Spec features a 5″ match grade barrel and rear slant serrations on the slide. The mainspring housing is the original arched style found on G.I.-issue 1911-A1s, giving you a classic look with modern upgrades for improved performance and reliability.

For those who demand a quality, authentic 1911 the Mil-Spec offers exceptional value and an undeniable pedigree.

FORGED FRAME
AND SLIDE

The forged slide and frame, the heart and soul of Springfield Armory® 1911 pistols, sets this gun apart from competitor’s cast models on the market by surpassing them in both strength and durability.

  • Stainless or Parkerized Finish

    The Mil-Spec is available with either a stainless or parkerized finish.

  • Match Grade Barrel

    A full-length 5” stainless steel match grade barrel produces accuracy and longevity.

  • Arched Mainspring Housing

    The 1911 Mil-Spec sports an arched mainspring housing just like the 1911-A1s have had for all these years.

  • Fixed Combat 3-Dot Sights

    Fixed steel combat sights keep the Mil-Spec 1911 on target, while the addition of three white dots makes them more effective than the originals.

  • Short Military Combat Trigger

    The Mil-Spec 1911 features a short military-style trigger proven effective by generations of G.I.’s.

  • Crossed Cannon Cocobolo Grips

    Handsome cocobolo wooden grips feature G.I.-style checkering for a solid grip along with the inimitable Springfield Armory® Crossed Cannon™ logo.

INSPIRED BY THE GI 1911

Inspired by the original G.I. 1911 which has served for more than a century with members of the U.S. military, the Springfield Armory® Mil-Spec gives you a modern take on a true classic. From its spur hammer to its arched mainspring housing to its three-dot sights and lowered/flared ejection port, the Mil-Spec combines the best of the old and the new.
