Chambered in the classic .45 ACP round, the 1911 TRP stands at 5.7 inches in height with an overall length of 8.6 inches. The gun has fully adjustable, 3-Dot Tritium sights on a forged carbon steel slide with black armory kote. The frame features a beautiful tactical gray finish and accessory rail. The 1911 TRP retails for $1,730.

Continuing the 1911 theme, Springfield introduced the EMP Black Armory Kote chambered in 9mm. The gun features an overall length of 6.6-inches with a weight of 27 ounces. The forged steel, armory kote slide sits on a forged, aluminum alloy, black frame. Breaking up the all black theme is a set of wood grips which give this gun a refined 1911 look. The 1911 EMP Black Armory Kote comes in at the $1,100 mark.

The Concealed Carry Contour rounds out the new 1911 products from Springfield. The pistol, chambered in 9mm, is designed specifically for concealed carry. The Concealed Carry Contour features a rounded mainspring housing which is engineered to sit more flush to the body and provide better concealment in a holster. At 7.5 inches in overall length and a weight of just over 30 ounces, the Concealed Carry Contour retails for $1,220.
