See, that's one of the things I like about my Sigs. Most come with nightsights installed, and you can pop your sight picture into shape in almost total darkness, not to mention quickly. That said, my old Springfield ultra compact only has windage adjustment, but I just can't talk myself into giving it up just yet.

Nice 1911 you have there. I bought it's twin last weekend and can't wait to get out this weekend and run some rounds thru it. Congrats!!

Beautiful, wise choice, Congrats!

to answer the first question i payed 749.99 for it. as for the sights to be honest i am not absolutely thrilled with them. though i absolutely love the fact that i can adjust them, and yes i did have to adjust elevation upon first firing, the sights do not have dots for quick sight aquisition so i'll be changing them out for night sights (still adjustable). thanks for all the input guys..

Thanks for the response. I am new to 1911's and to night sights. I bought a new/used Kimber Stainless II with night sights. I absolutely love the night sights but was still curious how a newbie liked target sights. Good luck with your new purchase!

Congrats,

David

I am pretty busy with moving into a new to me house and getting some wedding plans finalized. Before I head to the range next I will send you a PM.

Nice. I finally made the jump as well. I haven't got mine yet (still at the smith) but I am anxious to break it in. How does the Springer shoot? (sorry if I missed your post about that--I didn't see one)

Very nice!!!! i just got my first springfield 1911 bout a month ago. Very quality pice, good purchase!!!

 

[joshuametivier]

this range officer shoots consistently. I've taken it out twice now without a single malfunction. I have big hands so I have to get some grip extensions but otherwise great gun to shoot.

I usually don't comment on these kinds of threads but that is a very nice 1911 for the price. Are these new or have I just been missing them? Very nice though!!

release date in Nov of 2010. The specifics of the gun are intended for beginner competition shooters. fully upgradable.

That really makes me want to finally get a 1911.

Can I ask where you picked up your RO? I called several gun stores around Indy and was told no one had any. I searched the Indy 1500 today and couldn't find one. I even asked gun dealers there. I was ready to drop down the $750 today if it was available.

My brother and I both took out our new Range Officer's today and they both ran flawless! A great shooting gun for sure.

21st century firearms in Bluffton had a Range Officer as of Friday anyways if you are up for a drive. Maybe it's at the 1500?

Sweetest 1911

I really want a "Range Officer" where did you get it?
