Frequently Asked Questions
Springfield 1911 Professional for sale
Does Springfield still make the Professional 1911?
Springfield's Custom Shop continues producing high-quality 1911 pistols, and the Professional line may still be available through custom channels, though the specific PC9111 model is listed as discontinued. For current availability, contact Springfield's Custom Shop directly. Similar production models include the TRP, Garrison, and Emissary.
What is the most reliable 1911 pistol?
Reliability varies by budget and use. Wilson Combat CQB and Springfield TRP earn strong reputations for flawless operation. Budget-conscious shooters find the Springfield Garrison reliable under $800. Most 1911s from established makers perform dependably; differences typically involve trigger quality, fit, and finish rather than basic reliability.
Why are gun owners upset with Springfield Armory?
Gun owners felt betrayed when Springfield Armory and Rock River Arms were accused of working with an IFMA lobbyist on a backroom deal supporting Illinois legislation that would burden dealers with licensing requirements while exempting manufacturers. Critics saw this as protecting company profits at the gun community's expense, prompting widespread boycott calls.
How much is a 1911 A1 worth today?
Value depends on the specific model and condition. New 1911 A1 pistols range from around $450 to $2,100 depending on manufacturer and features. Used examples average around $439 generally, while used Springfield Armory models average roughly $672 and can reach $780. Check current listings for exact pricing on your preferred variant.
What is the difference between a 1911 and 1911a1?
The 1911A1 introduced several changes over the original 1911: a shorter trigger, longer grip safety spur, arched mainspring housing, taller front sight, and frame milled out for better trigger access. These modifications came from WWI soldier feedback to improve comfort and handling.
