Features & Specs

This is a build sheet that reads like a custom shop list, but it comes straight from Springfield Armory. Key specs include a 5-inch barrel, forged carbon steel frame, and a matte black parkerized finish that holds up to holster wear. The trigger breaks clean at around 4.5 to 5 pounds out of the box.

• Caliber: 10mm Auto, with a 5-inch hammer-forged stainless steel barrel for long service life and consistent accuracy
• Fiber optic front sight with a low-profile combat rear sight, drift adjustable for windage
• Skeletonized match-grade trigger, extended thumb safety, and a beavertail grip safety with memory bump

Beyond the specs, the fit and finish are what set this apart. The slide-to-frame fit is tight without being sticky, and the barrel locks up solid. The checkered front strap and thin-line walnut grips give you a positive hold without the bulk of a double-stack frame.

• Forged carbon steel frame and slide with a parkerized finish for corrosion resistance
• Full-length guide rod and a lowered, flared ejection port for reliable cycling with hot 10mm loads
• One 8-round stainless steel magazine included, with a slam pad base for easier reloads
