Springfield Armory substantially bolstered its 1911 Operator line for 2015, adding both the MC Operator (Marine Corps) and the Loaded Operator Black.
The 1911 MC Operator is built on a full-size steel frame with an integral accessory rail. The pistol features a duo-tone black and olive drab green version of Springfield’s proprietary Armory Kote finish. This finish gives the pistol a matte, low-glare appearance and protects the metal.

The ejection port is lowered and flared, while the pistol is fitted with a standard guide rod. The MC Operator comes with G-10 grips held in place with Torx head grip screws.
