Here are the key specs you need to know:

• Caliber: .45 ACP with a 4-inch match-grade barrel, 7+1 capacity

Additional features worth pointing out:

Who It’s For

This 1911 is built for the Alabama shooter who wants a .45 that pulls double duty.

The included range bag means you can grab this kit and head out without hunting for a separate case. For anyone looking at the Springfield 1911 Champion Operator Lightweight .45 ACP with Range Bag, it fits the bill if you want a Commander-length 1911 that doesn’t compromise on the classic .45 stopping power.
