Overview

This pistol is not a commemorative piece or a limited-run cosmetic variant. It is a direct descendant of the FBI contract guns built by Springfield Armory in the early 2000s, retaining the same forged slide, forged frame, and critical internal specifications. The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 .45 Auto FBI Contract Model features a 5-inch match-grade barrel, a fully adjustable LPA rear sight with a tritium front, and a recessed target crown. The frame incorporates a integral plunger tube, a flat mainspring housing, and a crisp 4.5 to 5-pound trigger pull. This is a working firearm, finished in a durable black Armory Kote for corrosion resistance and low-glare performance in tactical environments.
