Springfield Armory 1911 Operator PO9229 | 9mm | 5″

The Springfield Armory 1911 Operator PO9229 pairs classic 1911 ergonomics with modern tactical features in 9mm. It ships with a 5″ match-grade stainless steel barrel, VZ G10 grips, ambidextrous safety, and tritium front/Tactical Rack rear sights. This full-size 1911 is built on a forged carbon steel frame and slide finished in black Cerakote for corrosion resistance and a subdued appearance. For shooters who prefer an optic, a compact red-dot such as the Vortex Venom 3 MOA pairs well and remains well under $1,000 when combined with an appropriate slide plate or gunsmith-installed mounting solution.

Common applications include precision range training and competition carry-on-competition platforms where full-size 1911 ergonomics and a 5″ barrel are preferred.
