Built on a solid steel frame and featuring a 5-inch match-grade barrel, this 9mm single-action pistol is the result of a direct collaboration between Springfield Armory and the renowned trainers at 10-8 Performance. It is engineered for individuals who understand the value of a refined trigger, superior ergonomics, and a stable shooting platform—whether for advanced defensive training, competitive shooting sports, or as a high-performance duty weapon.

Key Features

• 10-8 Performance Collaboration: Tuned by industry-leading instructors, this pistol incorporates specific enhancements for real-world control and speed, including a refined grip texture, high-visibility sights, and an optimized trigger.
• Match-Grade Coned Barrel (5″): The 5-inch, coned, match-grade barrel provides a longer sight radius for improved accuracy and a tight lockup for consistent shot-to-shot precision.
• Steel Frame Construction: The full-size steel frame offers significant weight and mass, reducing perceived recoil and muzzle flip for faster follow-up shots and enhanced shooting stability.
• Optics-Ready Platform: The slide is milled to accept modern micro red dot sights, allowing for a direct, low-profile mount to facilitate rapid target acquisition without adapter plates.
• Durable Black Cerakote Finish: This ceramic-based coating provides superior corrosion and wear resistance compared to traditional bluing, ensuring the pistol maintains its integrity in various environments.
• Single-Action Trigger: The crisp, single-action-only trigger pull offers a consistent break and short reset, a key feature for precision shooting and controlled rapid fire.

Performance & Applications

This is not a generic range toy; the 10-8 Performance Master Class is configured for specific, demanding applications. Its design choices directly support advanced shooting disciplines.

Advanced Defensive Training & Tactical Use: The collaboration with 10-8 Performance means this pistol integrates direct feedback from professionals who teach defensive shooting. The ergonomic enhancements, reliable 9mm chambering, and duty-ready finish make it an excellent choice for high-round-count training courses, law enforcement qualifications, or as a trusted home defense firearm. The steel frame soaks up recoil, reducing shooter fatigue during extended sessions.

USPSA Single Stack & Limited Optics Competition: With its single-action trigger, 5-inch barrel, and optics-ready slide, this Springfield Armory model is a formidable option for shooters in USPSA’s Single Stack division or when configured for Limited Optics. The weight of the steel frame manages muzzle movement, while the match-grade barrel promotes accuracy on longer or tighter shots, giving competitors a tangible edge.
