Springfield Armory Releases Optics-Ready 1911 AOS Pistols

Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the launch of its 1911 Agency Optic System (AOS) pistols that combine the proven capabilities of the 1911 with modern optics integration — all offered direct from the factory. With 1911 AOS, Springfield Armory melds the proven platform of the iconic 1911 with cutting-edge optics capability, delivering an unmatched level of versatility and performance.
Developed in collaboration with Agency Arms, AOS employs a series of plates that accommodate a wide range of the industry’s most popular red dot sights following the RMR, Shield, Delta Point Pro and Docter footprints. This flexibility allows shooters to configure their handguns according to their unique preferences for optimal performance.
All AOS-compatible handguns ship with a cover plate featuring a rear sight that matches the classic contour of the 1911’s slide. Machined from billet steel for durability and precise fitment, additional AOS plates designed for a wide range of optics are available for purchase on the Springfield Armory Store. In addition, purchasers of a 1911 AOS pistol will receive a discounted price on one AOS optic plate of their choice of just $49 — an $80 savings. Read more
