Springfield Armory, Inc. is a firearms manufacturer and importer based in
Geneseo, Illinois, founded in
1974. It is one of the largest firearms marketers of imported firearms in the
United States and is a four-time recipient of the
National Rifle Association Gun of the Year
Award.
Springfield Armory has a rich tradition of creating quality guns and
1911 pistols are no exception.
M1911 handguns were first designed by legendary firearms designer
John M. Browning in 1911, and they became widely used in the two
World Wars, as well as the
Korean War and
Vietnam War.
Select U.S. forces and law enforcement agencies still use 1911 handguns today, but their popularity among civilians is even higher. The guns are versatile and highly customizable. In fact, Springfield Armory makes several different versions of the 1911. A multitude of models and features makes it easier to get a gun that fits your needs.
The company's main products are its M1911 pistols (built with Brazilian components produced by
IMBEL)[4] and the
M1A rifle series. It has been importing the
Croatian HS2000 pistol as the XD ("eXtreme-Duty") series since
2002.
Previously the company offered clones of the M1 Garand,
Beretta BM59,
FN FAL,
HK 91,
AR-15 and
M6 Scout. They have also imported Tanfoglio and
Astra semi-automatic pistols under the Springfield name.
Springfield Armory also has a well-known custom shop, where full-custom M1911A1s and semi-custom HS2000 pistols are built and modified. The custom shop's most famous product is the
Tactical Response Pistol Professional Model (formerly known as the
Bureau Model), an M1911 variant. The
TRP Professional was one of only two guns to pass the controversial trials set forth by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation for a new pistol for its
Hostage Rescue Team and
SWAT teams. The head gunsmith is
David Williams. The first two directors of the custom shop were Les Baer and
Jack Weigand.
