Features & Specs

Let us walk through what you are actually getting with these springfield 1911-a1 45 acp police trade-ins (fair condition). Springfield Armory built these to the original 1911-A1 pattern, meaning you get the classic short trigger, arched mainspring housing, and slim grip profile that has worked for over a century. The .45 ACP chambering gives you proven stopping power, and the single-action trigger breaks cleanly at around 5 pounds. These trade-ins come with a 7-round magazine, and the slide is marked with the iconic Springfield Armory roll mark.

• Forged carbon steel frame and slide with original Parkerized finish showing honest wear, holster rubs, and minor surface scuffs consistent with police service
• 5-inch match-grade barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, designed for reliable feeding and accuracy with standard .45 ACP ammunition
• Fixed low-profile sights with a standard GI-style front blade and rear notch, drift adjustable for windage

These are not refinished or rebuilt guns. They are as-taken from service, so each one has its own unique character. The mechanical function is solid, but you should expect cosmetic blemishes typical of a carry gun.
