GENESEO, IL, (AmmoLand) – Springfield Armory is pleased to announce that a very special, one of a kind pistol now has a new home. More importantly, the Chris Kyle FROG Foundation is the beneficiary of a new $22,500 donation.

The company recently launched a limited edition line of Springfield Armory Legend Series 1911 TRP Pistols. Modeled after the TRP that American Sniper Chris Kyle chose to carry on his deployments overseas, the Legend Pistols share many of the same features that Kyle chose for his personal model.

While the company is making one thousand Legend Series pistols, numbered CK0001 through CK1000, the gun with serial number one was reserved for a special purpose. Springfield Armory donated this pistol to Taya Kyle, who now oversees the FROG Foundation. Upon receiving the pistol at a special presentation by company CEO, Dennis Reese, at the 2016 SHOT Show, Taya Kyle immediately announced plans to auction the pistol to benefit the FROG Foundation.

“We’re honored to be able to support this organization,” said Dennis Reese, Springfield Armory CEO. “The Chris Kyle FROG Foundation is doing fantastic work to support our service members, and every bit as importantly, their families.”
