The Springfield Armory Operator family of pistols combines the appeal of the proven single-stack 1911 pistol with modern enhancements. These include a Picatinny accessory rail on the dustcover, tritium front sight, ambidextrous safety, and base pad-equipped magazines.
Featuring a forged carbon steel slide and frame for rugged durability, the newest Operator pistols employ forged 5.75-inch threaded stainless steel barrels with a low-profile black diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. These extended barrels feature .578×28 threading for ease of mounting accessories, and come with a knurled thread protector.
In addition to the threaded barrel, the pistols also feature the Agency Optic System (AOS) for modern optics integration. Developed in collaboration with Agency Arms, AOS employs a series of machined billet steel plates with integrated rear sights that accommodate a wide range of the industry’s most popular red dot sightsfollowing the RMR, Shield, Delta Point Pro and Docter footprints. The pistols ship with a cover plate, and purchasers receive a discounted price on one AOS optic plate of their choice. All four color options with the 1911 Operator AOS Threaded .45 ACP — Coyote Brown, OD Green, Tungsten Gray or black — are a Cerakote finish.
“The 1911 Operator AOS Threaded .45 adds a new dimension of performance to the proven Operator line of pistols,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “Add to that the option of your preferred Cerakote finish — in Coyote Brown, OD Green, Tungsten Gray or basic black — and you have a terrific range of options for any serious fan of the 1911 pistol.”
