Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Viridian RFX11 sight removable?
Yes. The RFX11 is mounted via the AOS plate, and you can remove it to install a different optic using Springfield's AOS plate system. The sight uses a standard T1/T2 footprint.
What does the Gear Pac include exactly?
The Gear Pac includes the pistol, four 8-round magazines, a Viridian RFX11 green-dot sight (installed), a padded pistol bag, and a cable lock.
Can I use this for concealed carry?
The full-size 5" barrel and steel frame make it better suited for home defense or range use than daily concealed carry. For carry, consider a smaller 1911 model.
Is the barrel stainless steel or carbon steel?
Per Springfield Armory specs, the barrel is forged stainless steel, which resists corrosion and holds up well to regular shooting.
Does the AOS system hold zero after removing and reinstalling the optic?
Yes. The AOS system uses precision-machined plates and screws to return to zero, so you can swap optics without re-sighting each time.
