Overview

The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model represents a benchmark in law enforcement-grade handgun engineering. Originally developed under a direct contract with the FBI Hostage Rescue Team and regional SWAT units, this pistol is built to exacting government specifications. Every springfield professional 1911-a1 45 auto fbi contract model is assembled at Springfield Armory’s Custom Shop, using hand-fitted components and precision bar-stocked steel.

The pistol ships with two 7-round magazines, a proprietary custom carry case, and a certificate of authenticity verifying its contract lineage.

Features & Specs

The springfield professional 1911-a1 45 auto fbi contract model incorporates a forged carbon steel frame and slide with a black melonite finish for corrosion resistance and reduced glare. The barrel is a 5-inch forged stainless steel match-grade unit with a fully supported ramp for positive feed cycles. The trigger system is a lightweight, three-hole aluminum trigger with an adjustable over-travel stop, breaking at a clean 4.5 to 5.0 pounds. The pistol features a lowered and flared ejection port, a ramped barrel bushing, and a stainless steel full-length guide rod. Sights are tritium night sights with a white outline rear and a serrated front sight post. The grip safety is a beavertail design with a memory bump, and the thumb safety is an extended, ambidextrous model.

• Recoil system utilizes a flat wire recoil spring and a GI-spec guide rod cap; the slide-to-frame fit is tool steel matched with zero discernible play.
