Description
The Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded Marine Corps Operator pays tribute to the 1911s carried by Marine special operations units, pairing a black Cerakote slide with an OD Green Cerakote frame. Built on forged carbon steel with a 5" forged stainless match grade barrel, this California compliant .45 ACP delivers the accuracy and classic feel 1911 shooters want, plus an integral Picatinny rail for a weapon light.
Practical upgrades include low-profile 3-dot tritium combat sights, an extended ambidextrous thumb safety, a beavertail grip safety and an extended lightweight trigger. Pachmayr wraparound rubber grips lock in your hold under recoil. Three 7-round magazines and a soft case come standard.
