Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer Compact 9mm, 4 in Match-Grade Barrel, Lightweight Alloy Frame, Matte Black
This Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer Compact stands out with a balanced CCO-style layout that pairs an Officer-length grip frame to a 4 inch slide. Built on a lightweight forged aluminum-alloy frame with a forged carbon-steel slide, it features a stainless, bushingless match-grade ramped barrel and practical sighting system. Chambered in 9mm with a 7+1 capacity, it blends carry-friendly dimensions with Range Officer accuracy features.
The compact 1911 platform is configured for reliable performance, with a lowered and flared ejection port, rear cocking serrations, and dovetailed sights. A green fiber-optic front sight works with a low-profile two-dot rear for fast, clear sight pictures. The slide and frame wear a matte black/graphite finish, and the red-toned checkered wood grips carry Springfield Armory medallions with RO COMPACT inlay.
The stainless, bushingless match-grade barrel is ramped for consistent feeding in 9mm. The single-action system includes a skeletonized, long, three-hole trigger and a skeletonized hammer. Safety features include a thumb safety and a grip safety with memory bump.
Ergonomics and handling are supported by a beveled magazine well and a checkered mainspring housing. The serial prefix LW indicates the lightweight frame. Markings include SPRINGFIELD ARMORY and COMPACT CAL 9MM. Made in the USA.
