I finally got one.
I only buy 1911's... for the most part. I own lots of SA's and Ed Browns... you find something you like that works, and you keep buying it. For years I've lusted after one handgun more than the others but I've never gotten it until now.
The ultimate 1911 to me is the FBI Professional model. It's the only 1911 to have been tested extensively by the FBI and passed their rigorous accuracy and reliability tests for use by their HRT teams.
SA only builds a handful every 45 days to satisfy the FBI contract. The FBI takes what they need and the rest from that run are sold to the general public.
Each pistol is hand built by the SA Custom Shop under the watchful eye of Master Gunsmith David Williams. Keep in mind that Wilson Combat, Ed Brown, Les Baer and other masters tried twice to win this contract and failed. Les Baer won it originally, but failed to produce the handguns up to the quality standards of the FBI, so he lost the contract shortly after winning it. SA won on the second trial and has been the soul manufacturer going forward.
This pistols are the ultimate 1911, and in my opinion the ultimate fighting handgun. Now I own one.
I can't wait to shoot this bad boy in the morning.
