About Springfield Armory

Not to be confused with the original government arsenal that operated from 1777 to 1968, the modern Springfield Armory was founded by Robert Reese in 1974. The company built its reputation on the M1A rifle and high-quality 1911 pistols before expanding into the polymer striker-fired market with the XD series. On the California roster, Springfield is heavily represented with their 1911 variants — from entry-level Mil-Spec models to premium TRP and Ronin editions — plus the popular XD and Hellcat lines in their CA-compliant configurations.
