Springfield Armory Range Officer? - Page 2 Empty Springfield Armory Range Officer?

First topic message reminder :

So Springfield Armory has finally been added to the approved 1911’s I can purchase in my State.  I have never owned a 1911 and want to make my first purchase.  Almost everything I have read on the Range Officer seems to indicate it is a great first choice that can take me pretty far in competition. 

Putting a .22 conversion on the frame is not out of the question either.  While I have become a dedicated .22 shooter, having a back up .22 that is as competitive as my match 22 and serves as practice for the .45 is not a bad thing in my opinion.

I’m a dot shooter too.  I do expect to mount a dot on whatever 1911 I end up with, if that makes any difference in model choice.  Before I make the investment I’d like to ask if the Range Officer is still considered the best choice?  I’d hate to buy one and find out that for a few hundred dollars more XYZ brand / model would be a much better option.

Thanks

Jon

Thanks gents.  I was on the fence between the grip replacement type or the Burris Fastfire that fits the rear sight dove tail.  I like the tube type red dot, but I’d imagine the screen type red dot would not be that had to adjust to and it would be a lot closer to the bore of the barrel.
