SPRINGFIELD ARMORY GI FULL SIZE HI-CAP 1911 PISTOL

The Springfield Armory GI Hi-Cap 1911 is a blend of old and new. It has the feel of the G.I. pistols of World War One and World War Two, but with a magazine capacity of 13 rounds for the kind of firepower many GI's wished they'd had.

It's a full size 1911, but with a slightly wider frame to accomodate a double-stack 13 round magazine. The frame and slide are forged steel, with a parkerized finish that's tougher than anodized. The 5" steel barrel is oxidized as well.

Unlike other G.I. models, the Hi-Cap has black polymer grips instead of wood. It has the same spur hammer, as well as the flat style grip safety.

The solid trigger is 100% GI-style, with a pull weight of 5-6 pounds. The magazine has a plastic extension to aid in reloading.

With all of these features, and a lifetime warranty, this is the pistol for anyone who wants extra firepower combined with a period look.

Every Springfield Armory 1911 pistol is equipped with a trigger locking device. A key inserted into a hole in the rear grip strap positively locks the trigger, making it impossible for a child to accidentally discharge the gun. This system gives you a choice as to whether or not you need to lock your gun. Unlike trigger locks on other brands of guns, the keyhole is small, so that it doesn't ruin the looks of the gun.

"I sent the pistol back three times for failure to feed. The feed ramp is designed for 230 gr round nose. JHP's get caught in the feed ramp."
