The RO Elite Champion is a compact 1911 platform built around a 4-inch, match-grade stainless steel bull barrel with a bushing-less setup for consistent lockup. The Champion-specific flat-wire captive recoil system supports reliable cycling and extended spring life.
Its forged steel slide features rear cocking serrations and a lowered, flared ejection port. The full-height forged lightweight aluminum alloy frame keeps weight down while maintaining a full-size 1911 grip profile. Both slide and frame wear a Black-T black protective finish associated with FBI-spec Springfield 1911s.
Sight regulation and control are thoughtfully executed: a red fiber-optic front sight pairs with a tactical-ledge rear featuring two white dots. The pistol uses an ambidextrous thumb safety and grip safety, plus a skeletonized, lightened trigger and a skeletonized commander-style hammer.
Chambered in .45 ACP with a 7+1 capacity, this RO Elite Champion comes with four 7-round magazines. It is a USA-made model with MFG part number PI9137E.
