Springfield Armory has just announced new .45 ACP 1911 Operator AOS models with threaded barrels.
Living up to the pistol’s Operator name, Springfield Armory just announced a new 1911 Operator AOS model with a threaded barrel. Chambered for the naturally subsonic .45 ACP cartridge, the 1911 Operator AOS Threaded is available in four finish options and comes ready to be adorned head to toe in accessories.
The new 1911 features a 5.75-inch threaded stainless steel barrel (.578×28 threading) with a black DLC coating, and it ships with a knurled thread protector. The pistols also utilize the Agency Optic System (AOS) for mounting red dot sights. The system uses optic plates, making it compatible with RMR, Shield, Delta Point Pro and Docter footprints, but the plates must be purchased separately. 1911 Operator AOS Threaded buyers will be able to purchase a plate at a discounted price of $49. Naturally, the pistols have a Picatinny accessory rail on their dustcovers as well. Other features include tritium front sights, ambidextrous safeties and G10 VZ grips.
The Springfield Armory 1911 Operator AOS Threaded is available with a Coyote Brown, OD Green, Tungsten Gray or black Cerakote finish, and each gun ships with a soft case and two base pad-equipped 8-round magazines. MSRP is $1,289 and they’re available now.
