Springfield Armory's Loaded 1911 Model
This review of the Springfield Armory Loaded 1911, presented by Rob Leatham and Tom Gresham, highlights the evolution of the 1911 platform beyond a 'standard' configuration. The Loaded package offers significant factory upgrades over the Mil-Spec model, including improved sights, an ambidextrous safety, a beavertail grip safety to prevent hammer bite, a full-length guide rod for balance, and a match-grade trigger for enhanced performance. These features make the Loaded model a compelling option for shooters seeking enhanced functionality without extensive custom work.
