Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model

The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model is a factory-direct rendition of the sidearm carried by the FBI Hostage Rescue Team and SWAT elements. Built exclusively on the Springfield Armory Custom Shop production line, this pistol is produced to the exact dimensional specifications, trigger pull weights, and reliability standards demanded by the FBI contract. Every unit shipped from our inventory is a true contract-spec firearm, not a commercial approximation.

Overview

The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model was developed through direct collaboration with FBI firearms instructors and armorers. It features a forged carbon steel frame and slide, a stainless steel match-grade barrel, and a proprietary extractor system tuned for positive ejection under adverse conditions. The pistol leaves the factory with a black Melonite finish applied to all metal surfaces, delivering corrosion resistance consistent with LE duty cycles. This is not a custom shop build with optional upgrades; it is the exact configuration specified in the FBI solicitation.
