I appreciate the fact that Springfield Armory added the holster. The Springfield Armory 911 Stainless ships in a box with a pocket holster and a soft pistol pouch. Sorry, an error occurred and we could not sign you up. Straight out of the case, I was thoroughly impressed. I was able to make strong target impacts with the 911 more consistently than with my other sub-compact 9mm handguns. The short single-action trigger felt amazing when transitioning between targets. Firing the 911, along with low-recoil 9mm ammo, it was extremely accurate. The accuracy is most noticeable at the range. The 911 features a lightweight aluminum frame and a full-length guide rod.

However, for pocket carriers, it’s perfect. It is a bit heavier than the standard 1911. I measured the 911 trigger between 6.5 and 7 pounds. The Springfield 911 mimics the same single-action trigger that made 1911’s famous. It helps a shooter stay on target with follow-up shots. 1911 enthusiasts prefer a short and crisp trigger pull. Like a traditional 1911, the 911 is a single-action-only handgun. Thinline G10 grips are both attractive and functional. 1911 fans truly enjoy this type of trigger/thumb safety action. When the slide is charged with the hammer back, the thumb safety locks the trigger until it is depressed. Once the thumb safety is engaged with the hammer’s rest position, the trigger and slide are completely locked. The frontstrap comes standard with “Octo-Grip” texturing for an enhanced hold.Īs mentioned, the Springfield 911 has an ambidextrous thumb safety. This allows the shooter a visual and/or feel “alert” with a chambered round.

The LCI bar is positioned on top of the slide and is slightly raised when a round is chambered. The 911 comes packed with a handy pocket holster that fits inside the included zippered range case.Ĭonsistent with several Springfield Armory handguns, the 911 has a loaded chamber indicator (LCI) bar. The 911 recoil system uses a full-length guide rod along with a flat wire recoil spring. The slide serrations are cut at an angle for strong grip manipulation when charging the pistol.

A loaded chamber indicator on the top of the slide offers both visual and tactile verification of the chamber’s condition. It uses a 3” barrel and a beautiful brushed stainless steel slide. It also has an aluminum frame with their “Octo-Grip” front strap checkering and handsome gray/black G10 grips. That is an incredibly low price considering the pistol sports tritium night sights. The 911 has high-end features within a working man’s budget.

Fully loaded weight of the 911 is 19.25 oz. Best yet, loaded with eight rounds, the Springfield 911 weighs just 19.75 ounces. One has an extended baseplate and carries seven rounds, and the other has a flat base and carries six rounds.

The 911 ships with two single-stack 9mm magazines. Sweeping the thumb safety downward, the 911 is ready for live fire. It carries like a 1911 “ cocked and locked” function. Primarily, the 911 has a single-action trigger with an ambidextrous thumb safety. It shares several characteristics of a full-size 1911. The Springfield Armory 911 is a sub-compact 9mm powerhouse. In my opinion, the Springfield Armory 911 is the answer for those concealed carriers who are looking for reliable functioning, crisp accuracy and a beautiful piece, all in one. Dan is a big fan of the 911’s combination of pint-sized dimensions and 1911-like handling. The assurance that a well-crafted pistol will perform exactly as it’s intended cannot be understated. Carriers need a pistol that combines reliability and confidence. But, finding the right handgun can be challenging. A small and lightweight pistol that simply drops in the pocket is the easiest way to carry a gun. Let’s face it, concealed carriers love sub-compact pistols.
