The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model represents the pinnacle of duty-grade sidearm engineering, designed and built to meet the exacting standards of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Hostage Rescue Team and SWAT operators. This pistol is not a commercial approximation; it is the actual contract-specification pistol delivered to the FBI, assembled in Springfield Armory’s Custom Shop with forged frame and slide components, hand-fitted internals, and a match-grade barrel. For the discerning shooter who demands a legendary 1911 platform built to government contract tolerances, the Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model delivers uncompromising reliability and accuracy straight from the factory.

Overview

The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model is a purpose-built, full-size 1911 chambered in .45 ACP, constructed around a carbon steel frame and slide with a non-reflective black parkerized finish. Every pistol in this series begins as a forged component set, then undergoes dozens of hand-fitting operations by master armorers. The result is a pistol that exceeds standard production tolerances, with a crisp 4.5 to 5-pound trigger pull, a tight barrel-to-bushing fit, and a reliability package that includes an extended ejector, tuned extractor, and a lowered and flared ejection port. This specific model carries the FBI contract rollmark and includes a serial number prefix matching those issued to federal agents. The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 45 Auto FBI Contract Model is delivered with two seven-round magazines, a black textured mainspring housing, and tritium night sights for low-light engagement.
