Jeremy Tremp's article on The Armory Life unveils Springfield Armory's new optics-ready 1911 AOS pistols, which incorporate the Agency Optic System (AOS) to mount modern optics directly from the factory. These pistols, including the 1911 Ronin, Operator, and Emissary models, come in 9mm and .45 ACP variants with options for 5” and 4.25” barrels. The AOS system, developed with Agency Arms, uses a plate-based mechanism allowing a variety of popular optics to be mounted, enhancing target acquisition and accuracy. Tremp appreciates features like rear iron sights integrated into plates for co-witnessing with optics, and he highlights the ease of installation and versatility the AOS system brings to the classic 1911 pistol.
