There are few guns more famous than the Springfield 1911. Over a century later, this style of handgun remains in use by civilians, law enforcement, and military personnel.
The Springfield 1911A1 builds on this battle-tested design to make a semi-automatic pistol with better reliability, ergonomics, and performance than its predecessor. While it retains the original frame of the 1911, the trigger and hammer are shorter, the grip is more textured, the mainspring housing is arched (as opposed to the flat housing of the 1911), and there are other subtle changes. Try it for yourself with a Springfield pistol from Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore.

The A1 variant of the 1911 comes with subtle (but still impactful) design changes. The biggest change was the trigger assembly. To accommodate a wider range of hand sizes, the trigger was shortened, and scalloped contours were added to the trigger frame. Other minor differences include a new grip texture and an arched mainspring housing.
There are a few gun designs that are objectively "better" than others. Glocks have greater modularity with lots of expandability potential. 1911 pistols (and their A1 counterparts) have less modularity, but they are firearms that have proven their performance time and again over the past century.
Unfortunately, we cannot ship any firearms to residential addresses. When you buy guns online, they have to be sent to a gun dealer with a valid FFL first. You can ship your package to a local FFL dealer who has agreed to take it for you, and then pick it up from them when it arrives.
