Owners of 9mm 1911 type pistols show up once in a while alo but they dont make into the top 10 of the score list.


I´mean look. What does range officer mean? It´s the authority on the range, enforcing security, giving aid to less experienced shooters and looking cool doing it. That´s not what I´m associating with extreme accurate shooting

For $1100 you can get something like a CZ75 Tactical Sport which is pretty damn accurate. My most accurate 9mm is an $1200 Tanfoglio Limited Elite.

An HK USP Expert or Elite will also give you some damn good accuracy. Usually found in the $1100 range.

Springfield’s have good barrel lock up’s and excellent slide to frame fits. If you have match bushing fitted you will get very good accuracy.

I do not see the HK USP Expert or Elite on HK's USA website. Are these models still available new?

Range Officer is just something that the Marketing Division comes up with to sell more guns. In target competition is it the gun model producing most of the accuracy or is it that competition shooters like these models?

If you want an accurate gun here is a CZ 75 TS 9mm.

I think that a CZ Shadow 2 is going to most closely match the OP's stared requirements. P210's are $500 more.

Only an idiot would pay $1700 for a 210A. They have a dealer cost of $1259ish and I can be had online for $1350ish.

I wanted to get a extremely accurate 9mm pistol and was looking at the Springfield Armory range officer 9mm. Does anyone have any opinions on the pistol regarding accuracy and how would compare to my SIG 2264 accuracy?

Thank you and happy shooting

I can tell you that my 9mm RO isn't extremely accurate. With Black Hills 124gr match ball it is at best a 4" gun at 25 yards. That's good enough for action pistol but not even starting accuracy for bullseye.

At 15-25 yards most pistols are going to look pretty good. My glock 26 will consistently throw 2-1/2 to 3 inch 25 yard groups with NATO ball. What is your accuracy standard you are aiming for ? ( pun intended!) for me extremely accurate is defined as a gun capable of grouping well enough to shoot a perfect score on a 25 yard bullseye slow fire target ( 10 ring about the size of a half dollar.it would be rare to find a production gun under 1000 bucks capable of that. There is enough variability in tolerances on production guns like the RO you might get one that is a nail driver and the next one off the line only barely meets acceptable criteria

I think a lot of the comments that you are getting are from people who have never fired a Range Officer. My Range Officer 9mm is VERY tightly fitted, slide, barrel, barrel bushing, everything. I've been very impressed with it. At 25 yards it will shoot 5 shot groups that run just at 1.25 inches with ammo that it likes. Sights are first rate. Trigger is quite good for a 1911. It was tight enough that it took 100 rounds or so to break in and become totally reliable. It has a tight chamber that doesn't like sloppy reloads, though quality reloads work just fine, as does quality factory ammo. All in all, a first rate pistol (and that's from a REALLY picky engineer who actually owns and shoots one...)
It's not as accurate as my Browning HiPower GP Comp (which shoots better than any Sig 210 I've fired.. and can produce 5 shot 25 yard groups under an inch..), but for the money, my Range Officer does extremely well and is one of my favorite target pistols....
