Springfield makes a great pistol, and the Micro Compact is a reliable, hard-hitting model. The sights and trigger definitely leave something to be desired, but if you prefer the 1911 and are OK with a pistol that is at its best inside 7 yards, the Micro Compact has a lot going for it. This GI Micro Compact Mil Spec .45acp 1911 style pistol features all steel construction, 3 inch bull barrel, parkerized finish, low profile GI style sights, spur hammer, right hand only thumb safety short trigger, arched mainspring housing with lanyard loop and wears the factor double diamond wood grips with U.S. logo. Includes the factory box, manual and 1 magazine.
