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.

After 100 years of refining the venerable 1911, the Loaded pistols offer a reasonably priced, 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 — like an old friend who’s back on the scene and has been working out — a lot. Whether you’re looking for a pistol to use for target practice or home defense, if you’re ready for a 1911™ that steps out of its first-shot glory days and into the present with premium upgraded features, the 1911 Loaded is the contemporary classic beauty of your dreams.
