I own a number of I became a client of the Custom Shop in 1990 when they built me a Distinguished Trophy 1911 in 10mm.

Almost a decade and a half and a few hundred thousand rounds later that pistol is still delivering outstanding performance on a regular basis. I am anticipating the same level of craftsmanship, quality, and long service life out of the Compact Champion 45 they built for me in 2004. I have owned a number of Custom Shop pistols over the years and I have always found them to be technologically innovative, superbly reliable, masterfully executed, extremely accurate, and backed up by a customer service policy that is world class. They produce a great product, but more importantly they are an outstanding group of people to deal with. As a competitor and firearms instructor for the past 35 years, I have handled a variety of fine pistols. For the past 10 years, I have used pistols produced by the Springfield Custom Shop for competition and professional use. I stake my life on the Springfield Custom 1911 Professional Model. Simple elegance and totally reliable. handguns, but my favorite by far is my Springfield Custom 1911. Absolutely perfect size, weight, accuracy... and the look is dynamite.

On September 22, 2004 at the National Police Shooting Championships I fired my personal best Match 10 (24 rounds Ive been shooting competitively since 1977. If theres one thing Ive learned fired at the 50 yard line.) with a score of 236-8X using a Springfield in pursuit of three Missouri Limited IPSC titles its the importance of reliability. Sure, Custom 1911 in 9mm. If you want incredible accuracy with total accuracy counts too, and Springfield Custom knows how to build superb accuracy into every reliability, Dave Williams and the other gun Gurus at pistol, but it wont matter how good a shot you are if your gun wont run without fail every Springfield Custom are the only way to fly. time you pull the trigger!

Everyone has engaged in one of those coffee shop tirades about the $200 hammers and $500 toilet seats purchased by the government. Such rants are often deserved. However, the first time you wrap your hand around the Springfield Armory Custom Shop Professional model and realize Uncle Sam uses your tax dollars to purchase them for FBI Regional SWAT Teams and their Hostage Rescue Team, youll quietly say to yourself, Money well spent.

winning is everything
Vince Lombardi once said, If winning isnt everything, why do they keep score? The fact is, despite what people tell you to make you feel good, it IS whether you win or lose as well as how you play the game. Rob Leatham does two things for a living: he wins and he methodically studies why. He understands shooting strategies and tactics. He has made a science out of human movement with a gun. Finally, he has worked hand in hand with Springfield Armory Custom Shop pistolsmiths to put all of that knowledge into the finest competition handguns available. You may never rack up 15 USPSA National Championships like Rob, but wouldnt it be nice to win now and then? After all, winning isnt everything...its the only thing.

Ron has spent 16 years of his career at Springfield upgrading from one area of the company to another until he arrived in the Custom Shop five years ago. Upgrading is Rons life especially when it comes to customers guns: Its one thing to build a great gun from the ground up, but I think its more fun to take a basic pistol and turn it into a piece of art.
