Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison Target Pistol

Precision engineering meets timeless design in the Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison Target, a production-grade semi-automatic pistol built for shooters who demand accuracy from the box. Chambered in .45 ACP or 9mm, this model bridges the gap between a service-ready 1911 and a dedicated target platform. Every component, from the forged carbon steel frame to the adjustable rear sight, is specified for consistent performance at the range. Whether you are a competitive shooter or a collector of fine American firearms, the Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison Target delivers the fit and finish expected from a legacy manufacturer.

Overview

The Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison Target is a full-size, single-action pistol that builds on the proven Garrison series with target-oriented upgrades. The slide is forged from certified carbon steel and features a flat-top serrated profile to reduce glare. A fully adjustable LPA-style rear sight pairs with a fiber optic front sight for rapid target acquisition in varied lighting. Both .45 ACP and 9mm configurations are available, utilizing a 5-inch match-grade barrel with a fully supported ramp. The frame includes an integral trigger guard undercut for a higher grip, and the trigger itself is a forged unit with a lightweight skeletonized trigger shoe, adjustable over-travel, and a crisp 4-5 pound break. Each pistol ships with two 8-round magazines (7-round for 9mm) and a high-ride beavertail grip safety.

Features & Specs

• Caliber Options: .45 ACP (8+1 capacity) or 9mm (9+1 capacity). Both feature a 5-inch, button-rifled, carbon steel barrel with a 1:16 twist rate (.45 ACP) and 1:10 twist rate (9mm).
• Sights and Frame: LPA fully adjustable rear sight with a green fiber optic front post. Forged carbon steel frame and slide with a matte parkerized finish. Overall length 8.6 inches, unloaded weight 40 ounces (.45 ACP).
• Action and Safety: Single-action trigger with a skeletonized aluminum trigger shoe, adjustable over-travel screw, and a short reset. Extended thumb safety, beavertail grip safety with a memory bump, and a firing pin block.

Other notable specifications include a stainless steel guide rod with a full-length recoil spring, a beveled magazine well for faster reloads, and checkered walnut grips with a double-diamond pattern. The slide-to-frame fit is hand-fitted to minimize play, enhancing mechanical accuracy. The Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison Target also includes a Picatinny accessory rail on the dust cover for mounting lights or lasers.

Who It’s For

This pistol is designed for shooters who prioritize accuracy and reliability in a traditional 1911 platform. It suits competitive shooters participating in USPSA Single Stack or IDPA CDP divisions, where the adjustable sights and match barrel provide a competitive edge. It also appeals to serious recreational marksmen who want a dedicated range pistol with upgrade potential. Collectors will appreciate the historical lineage and the manufacturing precision of the Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison Target, as it retains classic 1911 ergonomics while incorporating modern target features. Law enforcement officers and armed professionals seeking a high-capacity service pistol for training or qualification may also consider this model for its proven reliability and accuracy.
