Springfield Armory's Range Officer 1911s adding models in 2015.

Okay, as it stands right now, Springfield Armory offers 3 models in the 1911 Range Officer family. Two steel Government target models in 9mm and .45 ACP. The third one is a aluminum officer-sized 1911 frame fitted to a commander length slide called the Range Officer Compact.

After watching Youtube videos of the 2015 Shot Show, I have run across different clips of people stating that the Range Officer family is going to grow in 2015. Springfield Armory is going to add a 9mm to the 1911 Range Officer Compact. Plus, it looks like Springfield is going to add a full-sized steel frame to a commander length slide and call it the Range Officer Champion.

I just wanted to pass the word along in case anyone would be interested.

Thanks for the info, that RO Champion is exactly what I'm looking for. Perfect 2nd 1911.

Range Officer, I have carried the 45 Range Officer Compact for awhile now. It is a great gun never had a issue with it.

So, in addition to a 9mm Range Officer Compact and 9mm Range Officer Champion coming this year, Springfield will also be adding a 45 ACP Champion. It looks like the Range Officer family will grow from 3 models to 6 by the end of 2015.
