Formation
In 1974, the Springfield Armory name was used by Robert Reese, who formed a new company to manufacture semi-automatic versions of the M14 rifle. This company, now owned and run by Reese's sons, manufactures a wide array of firearms under the Springfield Armory name. However, this company is not located near the former armory site and has no connection with the original National Arsenal. Springfield Inc.'s motto "The Oldest Name In American Firearms" while technically true, is misleading since the company has no connection whatsoever with the original Springfield Armory in Springfield Massachusetts. This is an article about the US Government Arsenal. ...

Springfield Armory currently also has a well known custom shop, where full-custom 1911-A1s and semi-custom XD pistols are made and worked on. It is here where the most famous 1911 that Springfield Armory produces is made; the Springfield Armory Custom TRP (Tactical Response Pistol) Professional Model, or TRP Pro for short. This full-custom 1911-A1 was the only gun to pass the rigorous (albeit highly controversial) trials set forth by the FBI when they were looking for a new gun for their Hostage Rescue Teams and FBI SWAT teams. This 1911 also enjoys popularity in the commercial firearms market, where it is regarded by many as one of the best M1911 clones of all time.
