Springfield’s been know to collaborate with big-time shooters, and now they’ve done it again! Developed in partnership with Hilton Yam, founder of 10-8 Performance and retired FBI Special Agent, SWAT team member and principle firearms instructor, the 10-8 Performance Master Class 1911 reflects decades of professional end-user experience.
The new 10-8 Performance Master Class 1911 is built on a hand-selected forged carbon steel frame and slide with a forged bull barrel. Each pistol is precisely fit and blended. Outfitted with select 10-8 Performance components and the Agency Optic System for modern red-dot mounting, it is offered in 9mm and .45 ACP to meet the demands of professional use.
1911 10-8 Performance Master Class Features
Agency Optic System
The 10-8 Performance Master Class 1911 is optics-ready using the Agency Optic System (AOS).
Developed in collaboration with Agency Arms, AOS employs a series of plates with an integrated rear sight, compatible with a wide range of today’s most popular optics, including RMR, Shield, Delta Point Pro, and Docter footprints.
Bull Barrel
The 10-8 Performance 1911 is built around a 5-inch forged stainless steel bull barrel with a black DLC finish. The increased barrel diameter delivers a tighter slide lockup and added rigidity.
Paired with a green fiber optic front sight and white U-notch rear, this Master Class 1911 delivers a clear sight picture and consistent shot-to-shot accuracy under hard use.
Reverse Recoil Spring Plug
The Reverse Recoil Spring Plug is crafted from stainless steel and allows for a tool-free takedown over the traditional GI recoil system.
10-8 Abbreviated Serrations
Abbreviated Slide Serrations deliver a confident purchase without excess, providing ample grip with a refined custom aesthetic.
G-10 Grips
The 5 LPI checkered VZ Grips provide exceptional traction under recoil, with durable G10 construction and a discreet Hilton Yam signature inlay.
Extended Magazine Catch
The Extended Magazine Catch is machined from bar stock with additional length and a unique 30 LPI serrated curved button surface for positive activation.
Flat Trigger
A flat-face solid aluminum trigger delivers consistent pull and duty-ready control, featuring a fixed stainless overtravel stop and precision-fit bow for reliable, maintenance-free performance.
Slide Stop
The bar-stock slide stop with refined pad geometry provides reliable lockback, smooth reloads, and durable performance.
