About this product

When Springfield introduced the 1911 Range Officer® for the competitive shooter, they were surprised at the response. Serious shooters who care about the details welcomed the precision features that made the Range Officer® perform far beyond its price tag. They insisted on the best components and manufacturing techniques, like forged national match frames and slides, both features found on our Nationwide shipping. Order from anywhere in the US.

Features and Specs

This 1911-A1 Range Officer model is chambered in 9mm and features a 5-inch stainless steel barrel with a fully supported ramp. The slide is forged from stainless steel with a brushed finish, while the frame is forged stainless steel with a matte bead blast finish. The adjustable rear sight is a low-profile target design with a serrated face to reduce glare, paired with a fiber optic front sight for rapid acquisition. The trigger is a solid aluminum match-grade unit with a three-hole design, offering a crisp break and minimal overtravel. The flat mainspring housing and skeletonized hammer reduce overall weight without sacrificing reliability.

Who It’s For

The Springfield 1911-A1 Range Officer 9mm Stainless Essentials Package with Adjustable Rear Sight is designed for shooters who need a reliable, accurate handgun for competition or range use. It suits USPSA Single Stack, IDPA, and steel challenge participants who prefer the 1911 platform but want the lower recoil and higher capacity of 9mm. It also works well for dedicated target shooters who value adjustable sights for precise zeroing. Law enforcement or civilian shooters transitioning from .45 ACP to 9mm will find the manual of arms identical to traditional 1911s, with the added benefit of reduced ammunition cost. This package is not recommended for concealed carry due to its full-size frame, but it excels as a dedicated range or competition tool.

• Competitors in USPSA Single Stack, IDPA, or steel challenge matches
• Target shooters requiring adjustable sights for precision work
• 1911 enthusiasts seeking a 9mm variant with lower recoil and cost per round
