The Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer Compact offers competition-grade accuracy in a concealable package. Designed for easy carry, this compact 1911 features a shortened aluminum frame that’s half an inch shorter than standard 1911s, making it ideal for concealed carry. The frame is black hardcoat anodized and built to National Match standards, ensuring durability and precision. The compact size doesn’t compromise accuracy, as the 4" stainless steel, fully supported bull barrel delivers exceptional precision for a firearm of its size. Key features include a checkered flat mainspring housing, an extended grip safety with a memory bump for positive engagement, and a competition-grade trigger for a clean, crisp pull. The fiber optic front sight and low-profile rear sight enhance target acquisition and provide a snag-free draw. The traditional wood Cocobolo grips add a classic aesthetic while improving grip. This compact 1911 is ideal for those seeking a reliable, accurate, and easily concealable firearm with Springfield’s renowned build quality. With a 6+1 (.45 ACP) or 8+1 (9mm) capacity, this pistol is both packable and effective for self-defense.
