Springfield 1911 Loaded Target 45ACP Stainless Steel

About this product

When you pick up the Springfield 1911 Loaded Target 45ACP Stainless Steel, the first thing you notice is the weight and balance. It feels solid, purposeful, and ready for a long day at the range. This is not a safe queen. It is a workingman’s competition pistol that happens to look like a piece of industrial art. The stainless steel finish is more than just cosmetic. It resists holster wear and corrosion, which matters if you shoot regularly or live in a humid climate. The trigger on this model breaks clean and crisp right out of the box, and the adjustable rear sight gives you the precision you need for punching tight groups at twenty-five yards. Whether you are a seasoned competitor or a dedicated enthusiast, the Springfield 1911 Loaded Target 45ACP Stainless Steel delivers the performance you expect from a purpose-built target pistol.

Overview

The Springfield 1911 Loaded Target is built on a forged carbon steel frame and slide, then finished in a durable stainless steel coating. It chambers the classic .45 ACP cartridge and comes with a five-inch match-grade barrel. The front and rear slide serrations are deep and aggressive, giving you a positive grip for press checks and slide manipulation. The beavertail grip safety with a memory bump ensures a high, consistent hand position. The magazine well is beveled for fast reloads, and the extended thumb safety is ambidextrous-friendly. This is a production gun with custom-shop attention to detail, designed to give you an edge on the shooting line without breaking your budget. The Loaded Target model specifically is tuned for accuracy, with a tighter barrel bushing and a lighter trigger pull than standard service models.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .45 ACP. The Springfield 1911 Loaded Target 45ACP Stainless Steel feeds and extracts reliably with a wide range of factory ammunition, from 185-grain target loads to 230-grain hardball.
• Barrel: 5-inch forged stainless steel match-grade barrel with a fully supported ramp. The barrel locks up tight to the slide for consistent accuracy shot after shot.
• Trigger: Adjustable aluminum trigger with a lightweight, crisp break. Out-of-the-box pull weight averages between four and five pounds with minimal creep and zero overtravel.

• Grips: Cocobolo wood double-diamond checkered grips. They provide solid traction without being abrasive on bare skin, and they give the pistol a classic, clean look.
• Sights: Fully adjustable low-profile combat rear sight with a fiber-optic front sight. The front dot is bright in any lighting condition, making target acquisition quick and intuitive.
• Safety: Extended ambidextrous thumb safety and beavertail grip safety with a memory bump. The thumb safety is positive and audible, and the grip safety deactivates naturally when you establish a high grip.

• Finish: Brushed stainless steel on both the slide and frame. This is not a coated finish. It is the metal itself, so it will not chip or peel. Minor scratches can be polished out if you choose.
• Capacity: Comes with two 7-round stainless steel magazines with removable base pads. The base pads are contoured to aid in seating during speed reloads.
• Overall length: 8.6 inches. Height: 5.5 inches. Weight unloaded: approximately 40 ounces. The weight helps tame the .45 ACP recoil, keeping the sights on target for rapid follow-up shots.
