Overview

Built on a forged stainless steel receiver and slide, the Springfield 1911 Loaded Target 9mm Stainless Steel offers an all-weather corrosion-resistant finish that stands up to rigorous use. The 5-inch match-grade barrel is fitted to a bushingless bull barrel design, enhancing accuracy by minimizing barrel movement.
