About this product

If you have been looking for a competition-ready 1911 that does not break the bank, you are likely already familiar with the Springfield Armory Range Officer series. This particular model, the Springfield 1911-A1 Range Officer 9mm Stainless Essentials Package with Adjustable Rear Sight, combines a classic platform with modern upgrades specifically designed for practical shooting. Whether you are punching paper at the range or stepping into your first local match, this pistol delivers the accuracy and ergonomics you need right out of the box.

Overview

The Essentials Package is Springfield Armory’s way of giving you the core competition features without the premium price tag of a full custom build. Built on a stainless steel frame and slide, this 1911-A1 Range Officer chambers the popular 9mm cartridge, offering lower recoil and faster follow-up shots compared to its .45 ACP counterpart. The adjustable rear sight is the standout feature here, allowing you to dial in your point of aim with precision. It includes a forged slide, a match-grade barrel, and a crisp trigger that breaks cleanly around 5 pounds. This is a purpose-built handgun for shooters who value consistency.

Features & Specs

This 9mm Range Officer is built around Springfield’s proven 1911-A1 platform, but it is optimized for accuracy. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and adds weight for reduced muzzle flip. The adjustable rear sight is paired with a low-profile front sight, giving you a clear sight picture. Here are the key specs that make this package stand out:

• Chambered in 9mm with a 5-inch match-grade barrel, ensuring tight tolerances and reliable feeding.
• Stainless steel frame and slide with a brushed satin finish for durability and a clean look.
• Adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation adjustments, ideal for fine-tuning at different distances.
• Lightweight aluminum trigger with an adjustable over-travel stop for a consistent break.

The Springfield 1911-A1 Range Officer 9mm Stainless Essentials Package with Adjustable Rear Sight also features an extended ambidextrous safety, making it suitable for both right and left-handed shooters. The grip safety is beavertail-style with a memory bump, ensuring a high, comfortable hold.

Who It’s For

If you are a USPSA or IDPA competitor shooting in the Single Stack or Production divisions, this 9mm Range Officer fits the bill perfectly. It is also a great choice for the enthusiast who appreciates the classic 1911 feel but prefers the lower cost and reduced recoil of 9mm. The adjustable rear sight makes it particularly appealing to shooters who like to experiment with different loads or who shoot at varying distances.
