In 2016, Springfield Armory® was proud to introduce the Legend Series 1911 TRP Pistol, created in collaboration with the Chris Kyle Foundation to honor the legacy of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, the author of the bestselling memoir American Sniper. Chris relied on the Springfield TRP for its reliability and resilience during combat, famously noting in his book how the pistol may have saved his life during a deployment in Fallujah.
Springfield Armory was set to produce just 1,000 Legend Series TRP pistols, each bearing a unique serial number ranging from CK0001 to CK1000, with each pistol laser-engraved to indicate its place in the series. These commemorative pistols were housed in custom mahogany presentation cases, also serialized, and include a signed copy of American Sniper by Taya Kyle, Chris’s widow, alongside a .999 pure silver challenge coin and a certificate of authenticity from Springfield Armory.
The MSRP for each Legend TRP commemorative edition was set at $2,499, with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation, which supports military families and first responders. The first pistol in this particular series was presented to Taya Kyle at the 2016 SHOT Show, where she announced plans to auction it during the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting. The auction for this unique pistol (#1) occurred at Springfield Armory’s booth in Louisville, KY, with live bidding commencing shortly before the auction ended on May 21st.
Taya Kyle presented the pistol to the highest bidder, along with Springfield Armory® CEO Dennis Reese, who emphasized the importance of this collaboration in honoring Chris’s memory and supporting the foundation’s mission. The Legend Series pistols feature a five-inch stainless steel match-grade barrel, low-profile three-dot Tritium combat sights, and black and gray G10 grips engraved with an American flag and built with forged carbon steel slides treated with Black Nitride for durability. This government model 1911 comes with one seven-round stainless steel magazine.
After the NRA Annual Meeting, the limited edition Chris Kyle pistols were distributed to firearms dealers across the country, giving collectors and enthusiasts a unique opportunity to own a piece of history. Now, you have the chance to be part of this legacy!
