Our Assessment: Springfield Armory’s stainless long-slide 1911 builds directly on the competition and target traditions that have surrounded the platform for decades. The 6-inch “Long Slide” configuration was developed to maximize sight radius, improve balance, and extract a bit more velocity from the .45 ACP cartridge, making it especially appealing to target shooters and enthusiasts who appreciate a steadier, softer-shooting 1911. Built on a forged frame and slide by IMBEL in Brazil and finished in stainless steel, this model reflects Springfield’s well-established formula of classic 1911 architecture paired with modern manufacturing consistency and practical enhancements.
This example presents in excellent overall condition, showing only light handling and operational wear to the stainless finish. The bore is bright with sharp rifling, the adjustable rear sight and fiber-optic front provide a clear and adaptable sight picture, and the action functions correctly with a crisp single-action trigger. The wood stocks remain clean and attractive, and the included factory case, magazine, tools, holster, and dual magazine holder add completeness. As a stainless long-slide Springfield 1911, this pistol offers a refined blend of accuracy-oriented design, traditional .45 ACP performance, and modern usability.
