A Springfield won the FBI contract. No one cares more about how pretty a gun is than a 1911 fanatic.


You do realize that government contracts typically go to the lowest bidder. If not the lowest bidder then the lowest and most responsible bidder. What this means is that the bidder has the capability to actually deliver what is in the Request for Purchase in the Contract. The fact that the FBI awarded a contract to SA doesn't mean that SA is better it just means that SA was likely the lowest bidder/most responsible bidder.

Best value that meets specs while achieving the lowest cost.

None of the cottage makers of 1911s could deliver the quantities the government required.

FWIW, Colt won the Marine Corps 1911 contract.
