Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model

The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model represents a direct lineage from the sidearm carried by FBI Hostage Rescue Team and SWAT operators. This is not a commemorative piece or a commercial approximation; it is built to the exact specifications of the FBI’s 1990s contract, using forged slides and frames from Springfield Armory’s Custom Shop. Every component, from the carbon steel barrel to the ambidextrous safety, is selected for duty-grade reliability. For the shooter who demands a production 1911 that meets bureau-level inspection standards, this pistol delivers a fit and finish that exceeds typical off-the-shelf offerings. The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model is a tool designed for precision, consistency, and extreme service life.

Overview

The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model is the definitive FBI-specification 1911, manufactured in Geneseo, Illinois, under the same roof as Springfield’s Custom Shop. This model features a forged carbon steel frame and slide, a fully supported match-grade barrel, and a flat mainspring housing per original contract requirements. Each pistol is hand-fitted and function-tested with a 50-round proof cycle before shipment. The frame is serialized with a “PRO” prefix, denoting its Custom Shop origin. This is a fixed-sight, no-nonsense combat pistol with a parkerized finish that resists corrosion under sustained carry conditions. If you require a 1911 that has passed FBI trial protocols, the Professional is the production answer.

Features & Specs

This pistol adheres strictly to the FBI contract specification sheet, which means no extraneous modifications and no compromises. The slide is forged from 4140 steel, the frame from 4140 or 4340 steel depending on production run, and the barrel is a 5-inch, match-grade, fully supported ramp barrel. The trigger is a skeletonized solid aluminum trigger with an adjustable stop, delivering a crisp 4.5 to 5.0-pound pull. The ejection port is lowered and flared, and the extractor is an external, tuned unit. The sights are a fixed Novak Lo-Mount carry rear with a tritium front, providing a low-profile sight picture that clears holsters quickly. The grip safety is a high-cut beavertail with a memory bump, standard on all FBI contract guns.

• Match-grade 5-inch barrel with fully supported ramp and hood
• Fixed Novak Lo-Mount tritium night sights, front and rear
