Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec 45 ACP Parkerized (CA Compliant)

If you are looking for a no-nonsense, battle-ready 1911 that stays true to the original John Browning design while meeting California’s strict requirements, the Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec 45 ACP Parkerized (CA Compliant) is exactly what you need. This is not a tricked-out race gun; it is a working man’s sidearm built to the same specifications as the pistols carried by American servicemen for decades.

We have run several boxes of ball ammo through ours at the range, and it feeds, fires, and ejects without a hiccup. If you value reliability over flash, this is your pistol.
