Here you go. Here is a little writeup that I did about the FBI test if you are so inclined. (Hilariously Wilson threatened to sue the FBI because they claimed the test was unpassable)
.....All guns had to shoot a 10-shot group at 25 yards of less than 1.5’ from a ransom rest. For reference, the target that comes with Wilson Combats and Nighthawk is a 5 shot group. Then the gun would go through a 20,000 round reliability test, after which it would have to undergo the accuracy test again. For reference, the original military 1911 test was only 6,000 rounds. Only 10% degradation of accuracy was permitted. The RFP stipulated that all testing be conducted with Remington Golden Sabre, which is not considered very accurate ammunition. Of the group that submitted RFPs, only Springfield and Pro Gun passed both the accuracy and reliability test. Springfield got the contract, as Pro Gun was not deemed capable of fulfilling.
Civilians are able to purchase any guns left over from the FBI run. Historically there is a long wait, when I ordered this one it was 36 months. I also have a railed version (this is known as the “Operator”) that only took 12 months, so it can vary. The very first runs were stamped “FBI” on the side, but Springfield received a cease and desist order and now stamps them as “Professional.” If you come across one stamped “FBI” it is worth a ton as there were only 258 made. There are a handful stamped “DEA” that are worth even more.
How does it handle and shoot? It is bank vault tight and accurate AF, although the trigger is not as good as other semi customs. It is set up for fighting, with ~5lb trigger break vs. the more typical <4lbs for WC, HNG, GCI. It has a ambi safety and 20lpi front strap, which will tear your hands up if you shoot extended range sessions. Nonetheless, if I were to carry a full size 1911 it would be this one, no question.
