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. Springfield's Octo-Grip front strap texturing ensures a secure grip and is complimented by a G10 Octo-Grip textured mainspring housing. G10 Thin-line grips and a short reset, crisp 5-pound G10 trigger shoe by Hogue come together to give the feel of shooting a full-sized firearm. 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. The 911 comes with a flush 6-round and 7-round extended magazine. This 9mm Luger model has a black nitride slide finish with a flat dark earth hardcoat anodized frame.
