Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer Elite Target 9mm Full-Size Pistol – Match-Grade 5" Barrel, Black-T Finish
The Range Officer Elite Target is Springfield Armory’s competition-tuned take on the classic 1911. Built on forged National Match frame and slide components, this full-size 9 mm variant pairs a 5-inch match-grade stainless barrel with a durable Black-T finish that resists corrosion and reduces friction. Discontinued after a short 2020–2021 production run, it offers tight tolerances, a crisp Gen 2 adjustable trigger, and target sights—all factory features that set it apart for shooters who value precision and limited availability.

Forged National Match steel parts give this Elite Target its tight lock-up and repeatable accuracy. The frame and slide share the self-lubricating Black-T coating, offering superior resistance to wear and corrosion without the glare of polished finishes.
A 5-inch, match-grade stainless barrel is bushing-mounted for consistent barrel-to-slide alignment. Coupled with a fully adjustable rear target sight and a bright fiber-optic front post, the setup is optimized for serious range work.
The Gen 2 skeletonized aluminum trigger breaks at roughly 4.5 lbs and includes an adjustable over-travel stop for a clean, predictable pull. A skeletonized rowel hammer, extended thumb safety, and grip safety round out the single-action controls.
Thin-line grey/black G10 grips provide a secure, low-profile hold, while the checkered magazine release speeds reloads. With its limited production run and “NM” serial prefix denoting U.S. forging, this pistol combines collectability with practical performance.
