The Garrison 1911 series is a modernized reproduction of the classic 1911 design. The pistols feature forged frames and slides for superior strength and durability compared to the cast models of competitors. Additional features also include low profile 3-dot sights, checkered thinline wood grips, an extended thumb safety and beavertail, and a skeletonized hammer for ultra-fast lock times. This model is a new EDC variant from Springfield featuring a blued finish and a compact 4.25-inch barrel. It is chambered in .45 ACP and includes one magazine along with Springfield's signature soft handgun case.
