Overview

The Springfield 1911-A1 Range Officer 9mm Stainless Essentials Package w/ Adjustable Rear Sight delivers competition-ready precision in a classic 1911 platform. This stainless steel variant is built for shooters who demand tight tolerances and consistent performance straight from the factory.

Features & Specs

This Springfield 1911-A1 Range Officer 9mm Stainless Essentials Package w/ Adjustable Rear Sight is manufactured by Springfield Armory, a trusted name in the firearms industry. The stainless steel slide and frame provide corrosion resistance and a durable finish that holds up to frequent use. The 5-inch bull barrel contributes to inherent accuracy, while the adjustable rear sight and low-profile front sight give you clear sight alignment for target acquisition. The 9mm chambering allows for higher magazine capacity and faster follow-up shots compared to .45 ACP variants.

• Caliber: 9mm; magazine capacity: 9 rounds; stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Adjustable rear sight with positive click adjustments; low-profile dovetailed front sight
• 5-inch match-grade bull barrel; forged carbon steel frame and slide; two-tone stainless finish

Additional specifications include a single-action trigger with an approximate 5- to 6-pound pull weight, serrated front and rear grip straps for positive control, and an extended beavertail grip safety. The Essentials Package ships with one flush-fit magazine and a padded carrying case. This model is not a full competition race gun but rather a solid production 1911 that delivers accuracy and reliability at a practical price point.

Who It’s For

The Springfield 1911-A1 Range Officer 9mm Stainless Essentials Package w/ Adjustable Rear Sight is designed for shooters entering the world of practical pistol competition, such as USPSA Single Stack or Steel Challenge. It also suits experienced handgun owners who want a stainless 1911 in 9mm for range training or recreational shooting without investing in a custom build. The adjustable rear sight makes it particularly well-suited for shooters who need to dial in their point of impact for different ammunition types or distances. If you prefer the 1911 platform but want the lower recoil and more economical shooting of 9mm, this package offers a direct solution.
