Springfield Armory Garrison Pistol, .45 Auto, 5 Inch Barrel

The Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison chambered in .45 ACP with a 5-inch barrel is a full-sized, single-action semi-automatic pistol designed to blend traditional 1911 aesthetics with subtle modern performance upgrades. Unlike entry-level 1911s that use cast components, the Garrison features a completely forged slide, frame, and barrel. This structural choice significantly improves long-term durability and strength. It includes a skeletonized hammer and target trigger, low-profile combat 3-dot sights, and a traditional GI-style recoil system rather than a modern full-length guide rod. The extended thumb safety is located on the left. side.
