Overview

The Springfield 1911 TRP 45 ACP Full-Size Pistol with Black Armory Kote Finish is designed for serious defensive use and competitive shooting.

The frame is machined with a proprietary integral magazine well and an extended beavertail grip safety with a memory bump. Each pistol includes a one-piece full-length guide rod and a skeletonized aluminum trigger. The Black Armory Kote finish is applied over a black oxide base, providing a low-glare surface that resists holster wear and moisture.
