Overview

The Springfield P9C is a striker-fired, polymer-framed pistol manufactured by Springfield Armory in Geneseo, Illinois. Chambered in 9mm Parabellum, this model was designed as a compact duty and carry pistol. The used trade-in specimens currently available offer a cost-effective entry point into a proven platform. The pistol features a black Melonite-finished slide over a textured polymer frame, with an accessory rail molded into the dust cover for mounting lights or lasers. The double-stack magazine holds 14 rounds, and the overall length measures 7.0 inches with a height of 5.0 inches. Empty weight is approximately 22 ounces.

Features and Specs

The slide is serrated at the rear to aid in manipulation, and the pistol includes a loaded chamber indicator and a firing pin safety block.
