Our Range Officer® Champion™ is a perfect fit for those looking for a concealable 1911 that won’t weigh them down. While a normal, all steel 1911 can weigh over two and a half pounds empty, the 9mm Champion™ tips the scales at just 31.5 ounces. The .45ACP model weighs in even less at just 30 ounces, thanks to the bigger hole in the barrel. That’s quite a difference when it’s on the hip all day.
While the overall height is the same as that of the Range Officer®
Operator®, the Champion™ includes a four inch stainless steel match
grade barrel as opposed to the Government size five inch barrel. In the
Champion™, we use a bull barrel fitted to the slide that houses a
supported ramp to save wear and tear on the frame over time. As a
result, we can use lighter weight forged aluminum for the frame. That
helps us shave weight for its intended carry mission.
The sights are all business, with a fiber optic up front and a low
profile combat sight in the rear that won’t snag during the draw. For
recoil control and function, we use a dual-spring assembly that allows
us to control precisely the recoil impulse in this smaller package,
thereby ensuring reliable function with a minimum of fuss to the
shooter.
The Range Officer® Champion™ is available in 9mm and .45ACP. Both models ship with two magazines, seven rounds each for the .45ACP and nine rounds for the 9MM. Even though the Range Officer® Champion™ is smaller and lighter, you won’t have to sacrifice capacity for carry convenience.
