Springfield Armory PX9420 1911 Garrison | .45 ACP | 5″

The Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison (MFG# PX9420) is a full-size, forged-steel 1911 built around a 5-inch match-grade stainless barrel and traditional 1911 controls. It pairs classic aesthetics—blued finish and thinline wood laminate grips—with modern machining standards to deliver a consistent shooting platform. For a practical optic option under $1,000 that complements the Garrison’s sight picture and sight radius, consider a compact red-dot such as the Vortex Venom. Recommended uses include precision-focused range training and traditional/collector shooting applications.
