Overview

The Springfield Professional 1911-A1 .45 Auto FBI Contract Model is the culmination of Springfield Armory’s decades-long relationship with the FBI. This pistol is not a commemorative or a limited-run variant; it is the exact specification firearm produced for the FBI contract, built on the same assembly line and to the same quality benchmarks. The pistol features a 5-inch barrel, a lowered and flared ejection port, and a stainless steel match-grade barrel fitted to the slide for consistent lock-up. The slide is serrated front and rear, and the frame includes a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump. Every Springfield Professional 1911-A1 .45 Auto FBI Contract Model ships with a Certificate of Authenticity confirming its contract pedigree.

Features & Specs

• Precision Barrel and Fit: Stainless steel match-grade barrel with a fully supported ramp throat, hand-fitted to the slide and frame for sub-2-inch accuracy at 25 yards. The barrel bushing is a tight-fit, target-grade unit.
• Duty-Ready Controls: Extended ambidextrous thumb safety, a solid aluminum trigger with a clean 4.5 to 5.0-pound break, and a stainless steel magazine well that has been blended into the frame for positive reloads under stress.
• FBI Contract Specifications: Includes a parkerized carbon steel slide, a forged carbon steel frame, and a proprietary flat-wire recoil spring system rated for over 10,000 rounds. The pistol is serialized with a prefix consistent with contract production runs.

Additional specifications include a standard 7-round magazine, a tritium front sight with a serrated rear sight, and a lanyard loop on the mainspring housing. The finish is a non-reflective black parkerization that meets the FBI’s low-visibility requirement. The overall length is 8.5 inches with a weight of 40 ounces unloaded.
