The Springfield Armory Defender Mil-Spec is a full-size .45 ACP 1911 that combines traditional G.I.-inspired styling with modern materials and dependable construction. Its 5" forged stainless-steel match-grade barrel provides excellent accuracy and durability.
The forged carbon-steel slide and frame feature a rugged Parkerized finish. Classic details include a short military-style trigger, spurred hammer, arched mainspring housing, and G.I.-style recoil system.
Fixed combat three-dot sights provide a clear sight picture, while the thumb safety and grip safety support traditional 1911 operation. The pistol includes one 7-round magazine.
