New 1911 Purchase
I've been considering a Springfield 1911 .45 Range Officer as my 1911 purchase. I feel it's got the right sights and has enough trigger pull to start me off and allow me to really get it to where I would want it to be. Price is a bit high though for a stripped down 1911.
Any other suggestions for the same platform with adjustable sights with as good quality as the Springfield?

Range Officer really not considered a "stripped down" 1911. It comes with some pretty good upgrades over a standard GI.

i have to agree with JPyle, the SA RO isn't a stripped down pistol by any means. i have looked at them and held them, and they are a dang nice pistol for the price. SA makes very good 1911 pistols and i have personally owned many over the years and currently own one now thay i wouldn't take twice what i paid for it! they are IMO, awesome pistols.

As a person who owns a ro get it is not a strip down 1911. It more like ready to take out the box and shoot in a match. I love mine so far only up grades I did was checker front of grip and did the front of my slide but it hangs with some of my high end 1911 and for under $1000 it shoot better thn many others at tht price range

It's gonna be a range gun more than anything. If I can get more proficient with it I'd live to shoot it in competition but that's a ways away.

I'm not a parkerized guy, and I'd like at least 3 white dots...maybe even night sights. Those are the only reasons why the RO isn't on my list.
Springfield is the bomb!! They are the only ones with a transferrable lifetime warranty.
I haven't been able to decide on a simple Stainless Loaded, a Black Stainless Target Loaded, or a Stainless TRP. I know they're all different prices, but I love the options that Springfield has!

The RO is setup like one I used in 1987 for competition.
I would buy it if I needed another.
