Springfield Armory

In the post-War years, as 1911s became increasingly common in the civilian market, shooters and custom shops found new ways to upgrade their .45s. Uncle Sam’s original spec sheet was a one-size fits all. But the 1911-loving public quickly figured out that America’s favorite autoloader could be improved with customization. The Loaded Series from Springfield Armory® brings you the culmination of those lessons. These pistols are Loaded with all the features a 1911 should have.

Whether you’re looking for a pistol to use for target practice or home defense, you’ll appreciate the extended ambidextrous thumb safety found on all Loaded 1911s. Likewise, the ergonomic beavertail grip safety, lightweight delta hammer and extended trigger enhance handling and performance in any situation. But not every feature does all jobs, and so the Loaded Series is a diverse lineup. The variety of finishes, frames, calibers and sights means that there is a Loaded 1911 designed to handle your intended application.

If you’re ready for a 1911 that brings you upgraded features without a custom shop price tag, look into the Loaded Series.

Springfield Armory Loaded series of 1911 pistols offers a full-featured 1911 that's ready to perform right out of the box. The ergonomic beavertail grip safety, lightweight delta hammer and extended trigger enhance handling and performance in any situation. The forged frame and slide, the heart and soul of Springfield Armory 1911 pistols, sets this gun apart from competitor's cast models on the market by surpassing them in both strength and durability. It comes standard with deep slide serrations both fore and aft to ensure easy manipulation under any conditions. The speed trigger on the Loaded model breaks like glass and has a crisp, tactile reset. The Loaded Marine Corps Operator pistol is so West Coast shooters can take advantage of features such as the match-grade forged steel slide and frame and the unparalleled shooting comfort afforded by Pachmayr wraparound grips and an extended lightweight trigger. The extended ambidextrous thumb safety and generous beavertail optimize the guns tactical capabilities. Low-profile no-snag tritium sights keep the gun shooting straight.
