Springfield Armory Defender 1911 Mil-Spec Features

The Springfield Armory Defender 1911 Mil-Spec .45 ACP, an entry-level member of Springfield's Defend Your Legacy Series, like all Springfield 1911s, features a carbon steel frame and slide that is fully forged, rather than cast, for the utmost durability. The 5-inch Match Grade stainless steel barrel is also forged for a lifetime of use. The slide has slanted serrations and the mainspring housing is the original arched style found on GI issue 1911-A1s.

The Defender Mil-Spec 1911 also features fixed combat 3-dot sights, a short military-style trigger, a manual thumb safety, and a lowered and flared ejection port to ensure modern reliability and performance. The Mil-Spec comes with fully-checkered wood composite grips, unique to this Defender Series model. This classic 1911 has a parkerized finish to combat corrosion, and comes with one 7-round magazine. It even includes a double-zipper soft -sided case (with room for an additional magazine) to protect your handgun while you transport it. Whether it is at the range practicing or at home for self defense, you'll love the feeling of trust and performace you'll get from this beast.
