Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model

The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model represents a direct lineage to the sidearms carried by the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team and SWAT elements. This is not a commercial adaptation; it is a factory-built, duty-grade pistol manufactured to the exact specifications outlined in the FBI contract. For the discerning shooter or law enforcement professional seeking a true, no-compromise 1911 platform, this model stands as a benchmark for reliability, accuracy, and durability under extreme conditions.

Overview

Built by Springfield Armory’s Custom Shop, the Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model is the result of a rigorous government procurement process. Every component, from the forged frame and slide to the match-grade barrel, is selected and fitted to meet stringent FBI performance standards. This pistol is delivered with a distinctive black Teflon-S coating, a fixed Novak LoMount carry rear sight, and a tritium front sight for rapid target acquisition in low-light environments. The pistol is dehorned for snag-free draw and features a lowered and flared ejection port for reliable feeding and extraction. This is the same platform trusted by FBI operators, and it is available to qualified purchasers.
