Features & Specs

Manufactured by Springfield Armory, the Springfield 1911 Loaded MC Operator 45ACP OD Green Armory Kote is built on a forged steel frame and slide, both coated in a non-reflective OD Green Armory Kote for corrosion resistance and reduced glare. The barrel is a 5-inch forged carbon steel unit with a match-grade chamber and a fully supported feed ramp, ensuring consistent accuracy with a variety of .45 ACP ammunition. The pistol features a Picatinny rail integrated into the dust cover, allowing for mounting lights or lasers without additional modifications.

• Caliber and Capacity: Chambered in .45 ACP with a 7-round magazine capacity; includes two magazines with slam pads for improved reload performance.
• Sights and Trigger: Equipped with a fiber optic front sight and a low-profile tactical rear sight, both dovetailed and adjustable for windage. The trigger is a forged aluminum three-hole design with a crisp, non-stacking break.

Who It’s For

This pistol is intended for the experienced shooter who values the 1911 platform’s ergonomics and trigger characteristics but requires modern features such as a rail system and durable finish.

The OD Green Armory Kote finish is particularly suited for users operating in varied lighting conditions or outdoor environments, as it reduces glare and blends with tactical gear.
