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 ba-

sis. 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 pis-

tols 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 Profes-

sional Model. Simple elegance and totally reliable.

I own a number of

handguns, but my favorite by far is my Springfield

Custom 1911. Absolutely perfect size, weight, accuracy...

and the look is dynamite.

generaL toMMy Franks,

I’ve been shooting competitively since 1977. If there’s one thing I’ve learned

in pursuit of three Missouri Limited IPSC titles it’s the importance of reliability. Sure,

accuracy counts too, and Springfield Custom knows how to build superb accuracy into every

pistol, but it won’t matter how good a shot you are if your gun won’t run without fail every

time you pull the trigger! Springfield Custom’s attention to detail, from the front desk to the

final test-fire is second to none, and no matter what your shooting style or discipline you’ll be

able to devote your full attention to where your next shot is going....

’cause you won’t be worried about whether it’s going!

On September 22, 2004 at the National Police Shooting

Championships I fired my personal best Match 10 (24 rounds

fired at the 50 yard line.) with a score of 236-8X using a Springfield

Custom 1911 in 9mm. If you want incredible accuracy with total

reliability, Dave Williams and the other gun “Gurus” at

Springfield Custom are the only way to fly.

When you assemble the best

pistolsmiths in the world and

allow them to put themselves

into everything they do, you get

what Mr. Lagos identified in his

fan letter — guns with soul.

On the following pages you’ll

see a few proven recipes for

custom guns as well as some of

the artists who have developed

them. Should you choose to spec

out a gun that is uniquely yours,

you’ll not only know a bit about

the guys working on it, but you’ll

have a taste of what they can do.

You can get a pistol from anyone.

When you’re ready for your pistol,

give us a call.

Springfield Custom has earned my exclusive business for over a decade. The artisans at Springfield Custom never cease to

amaze, setting the bar ever higher for innovation and artistic excellence. When the Gunsmiths at Springfield Custom build

your dream gun, they build it as if they were building it for themselves. From the simplest upgrade on a production model to a

full-house, from scratch, custom gun, they can turn your dream into realized perfection. The exacting work, devotion to detail

and relentless drive for perfection is evident in the end result. They actually put a bit of soul in your gun. — Sid Lagos

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

realize Uncle Sam uses

your tax dollars to

purchase them for FBI

their Hostage Rescue

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 Ron’s life — especially

when it comes to customers’ guns: “It’s

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.”

Vince Lombardi once said, “If

winning isn’t 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 methodi-

cally studies why. He under-

stands 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 Champion-

ships like Rob, but wouldn’t it

be nice to win now and then?

After all, winning isn’t every-

thing...it’s the only thing.
