I heard SACS (Springfield Custom Shop) hasn’t built a Pro in two years. What’s going on there? Love that gun! 🥹

 

[Uncle Bob]

Heard from whom?

I can tell you this I tried to have sac build me a gun a year ago
No go

Couldn’t get a thing out of them and my lgs has a rep
I stoped trying

 

[Bender]

The pro was always set opposed to be a limited contract run. They did extend it. If they have stopped, the extension has ended

 

[Tonysmjc]

I couldn’t get a bullseye gun
Out of them
I wanted a hard ball n wad cutter gun

Nothing

 

[Samuraj]

for sure , no new PRO this year , maybe next year ....I called the shop

 

[Tonysmjc]

I’ve got a pro with about 50 rounds through it
All the mags and the card I could be persuaded to let go

I’ve thought about letting it go several times
But my physical location makes listing things hard

I will be with the gun Monday
And then back with it end of month
We could make something happen via pm

AFAIK, the Springfield Custom shop is not making anything, and really has not been for some time.

glad I got mine when I did

There is no Springfield Armory Custom Shop anymore. Its employees and smiths have been shuffled into other parts of SA or moved on.

I have no idea what the current or future status of the Pro is, but virtually all other SACS models are discontinued.

I didn’t realize it was to this extent. Sad

 

[Tonysmjc]

Maybe I should hold on to mine

Yep, they have been pulled off and sent to do line work or in some cases office work. I'm told there is a desire to pick it back up but desire and means don't always meet.

I am for sure.

Wonder if I should roll out the Pro 2.0 again.

Do you even need to ask? Get to work.

What’s the Pro 2.0?
Sounds interesting.

Want a nice base to play with
As a proto type

Ever since I heard the news about the Custom Shop being no more, I have wanted to "pick up" that model and offer my "updated" vision of an evolved version of the Pro. I know at the old shop I used a lot of the original Pro spec parts, etc.

I think in rolling out the Prime HRT Pro, I would be interested in input from the family here. The more viewpoints I can get, the better.

1.) Finish in my mind is going to be a full blackout DLC (say goodbye to an easily damaged finish)
2.) U Notch rear sight with Orange Ring Tritium out front
3.) Wilson BP style slide stop w/the usual treatment
4.) Billet Ambi Safety
5.) Black G10 Grips of some sort. (was looking at stoner cnc yesterday)
6.) Perhaps flat trigger?
7.) Thick EGW barrel bushing w/matching plug
8.) Reworked slide markings
9.) Railed or Standard frame available.

Reply with any input you may have.

I’m starting to save my $ now if you roll that out. I’ve had a “want” for one of your Prime’s, this would make it even better since the Pro was my “grail gun”.
