The 911 both shoots and feels like a full-size firearm, encouraging both practice and daily carry in the most concealable firearm that Springfield currently offers. It's small frame shooting with the familiarity of a 1911. The lightweight 7075 T6 aluminum frame and 416 steel slide measure 5.5 inches long and less then 4 inches high, with a snag-free profile that's undetectable under clothing. Designed for life-saving defensive use at close range, the 911 features an ambidextrous safety and is perfectly matched with an Ameriglo Pro-Glo green tritium front sight inside a yellow luminescent circle, and a tactical rack rear sight with green tritium inside of white luminescent circles. This Alpha model has a stainless steel slide finish with a black hardcoat anodized frame and polymer grips. It comes with one 6-round magazine.
