Officially released on 12/20/2021, the Operator is the newest addition to Springfield Armory’s 1911 lineup. Machined down from a forged frame, slide, and barrel this pistol also features an ambi-safety, “Tactical Rack” rear/tritium front sights, and an accessory rail for lights/lasers. Designed as an affordable, tactical-grade pistol, this offering chambered in 45 ACP meets the mark.
