Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer Elite Compact Lightweight 9mm, 4" Match Bull Barrel, Black-T Finish

A 4-inch stainless, fully supported bull barrel, factory Black-T finish, and upgraded G-10 grips distinguish this model from standard Range Officers while keeping weight down and durability high.

The Compact Lightweight format uses a 4-inch slide atop an Officer-length alloy frame, providing full-size sight radius with reduced overall height for easier concealment. At just over 30 ounces loaded, it delivers controllable recoil without the heft of an all-steel gun.
The match-grade stainless bull barrel is paired with a flat-wire captive recoil spring, giving excellent lock-up and long service life. A fully supported ramp enhances reliability with modern 9 mm defensive loads.
Springfield’s corrosion-resistant Black-T coating covers both slide and frame, offering proven protection against sweat and harsh environments. Deep rear serrations and laser-engraved markings add practical grip and crisp aesthetics.
Factory performance upgrades include a Gen 2 skeletonized aluminum speed trigger, skeletonized commander-style hammer, and thin grey/black G-10 grips with aggressive scallop texturing for confident purchase without bulk.
An orange fiber-optic front sight teams with a low-profile two-dot tactical rack rear, giving rapid daylight acquisition and one-hand slide manipulation capability. Ambidextrous thumb safeties and a grip safety maintain classic 1911 control.
