Chambered in 9mm, it lets you shoot more for less, while still delivering that classic 1911 trigger and ergonomics. Whether you are punching paper, shooting USPSA Single Stack, or just want a reliable range companion, this Essentials Package keeps the focus where it belongs: on your accuracy.

Features & Specs

Built on Springfield Armory’s proven 1911 platform, this stainless model brings genuine competition features straight from the factory. The adjustable rear sight is the standout here, letting you dial in elevation and windage without a trip to the gunsmith. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and adds a bit of weight up front to tame muzzle rise, while the 9mm chambering means softer recoil and cheaper practice sessions. Here is what comes standard:

• Stainless steel slide and frame with a brushed satin finish
• Fully adjustable rear sight with a fiber-optic front sight for fast target acquisition
• 5-inch bull barrel with a target-grade bushing for consistent lockup

Inside the box, you get the essentials: two 9-round magazines, a bushing wrench, and a padded range bag. The trigger breaks clean at around 4 to 5 pounds out of the box, and the skeletonized hammer and trigger give it that race-ready look without the race-gun price tag.

• Overall length: 8.6 inches, unloaded weight: approximately 39 ounces
• Low-profile combat-style ejection port and extended thumb safety
• Checkered frontstrap and arched mainspring housing for a secure grip

For the shooter who wants a dedicated range tool that also pulls double duty as a nightstand pistol, this Springfield 1911-A1 Range Officer 9mm Stainless Essentials Package w/ Adjustable Rear Sight checks the boxes. The adjustable rear sight is especially handy if you like to experiment with different bullet weights or handloads.

Who It’s For

This pistol is built for the shooter who values precision over flash. If you are a competitive shooter looking to step into Single Stack division without spending custom shop money, this is your gun. It also fits the recreational shooter who wants a 1911 that is easy to shoot accurately all day long. The 9mm chambering keeps the ammo costs down, and the adjustable rear sight means you can fine-tune your point of impact for any range session. It is not a carry gun (the full-size frame and target sights are bulkier than a compact), but as a dedicated range or competition pistol, it excels. If you appreciate the 1911 platform but want modern adjustability and stainless durability, this package delivers.

• Target shooters and competition shooters who demand adjustable sights
• 1911 enthusiasts who prefer 9mm for lower recoil and cheaper practice
• Anyone wanting a stainless steel pistol that resists rust and looks clean
