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.

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

For 14 years, Dave has directed
the efforts of the Springfield Armory
Custom Shop. Put simply, he not only
makes guns, he makes sure they work.
While several different pistolsmiths
may have a hand in building your gun,
Dave’s hands are the last to touch
it. And it doesn’t leave the
shop until Dave says so.

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, you’ll quietly say
to yourself, “Money
well spent.”

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.
