About
What it is, and why it matters
The Springfield Armory 10-8 Performance Master Class 1911 is a 2026 single-action .45 ACP pistol developed in collaboration with 10-8 Performance founder and retired FBI Special Agent Hilton Yam. Built on a hand-selected forged carbon-steel frame and slide with a forged 5-inch stainless-steel bull barrel, it features a flat trigger, reverse recoil spring plug, extended magazine catch and magwell, 20 LPI frontstrap checkering, and 10-8 G-10 grips by VZ Grips. It is offered with the Agency Optic System for red-dot mounting and ships with three 8-round magazines.
The 10-8 name comes from Hilton Yam's gunsmithing shop, named after the police radio code '10-8' meaning 'in service and ready'; Yam built his reputation hard-fitting no-nonsense duty 1911s, and this collaboration distills that fighting-pistol philosophy into a production gun.
Announced January 2026 as a Lipsey's distributor exclusive (model PX9108-45AOS). MSRP approximately $2,099. Part of Springfield's Master Class 1911 line.
