Springfield Armory 1911 Operator | .45 ACP | 5″

The Springfield Armory 1911 Operator is a single-action, steel-frame 1911 built for duty-style performance and practical carry in .45 ACP. It pairs a 5″ match-grade barrel with an Agency-style optic-ready slide and a Coyote Brown Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance and a subdued appearance. Controls and features follow the 1911 pattern, with a factory accessory rail and night-capable sights for low-light use. A compact, robust pistol well suited to everyday carry or competition where a full-size .45 is preferred; a Trijicon RMR Type 2 is a suitable optic choice under $1,000 for use with the optic-ready slide.
