Check the Springfield Armory website, and you will end up scrolling for a long while. The number of solid firearms they have is impressive, to say the least. Of all the guns they produce, one of my favorites has been the Garrison 1911. Because of that, I was excited to hear that Springfield has expanded that line with the 1911 Garrison Target in .45 and 9mm.

The .45 ACP and 9mm 1911 Garrison Target pistols take the classic and proven 1911 design and add a high-quality adjustable rear sight for competition-minded applications. The result is a rock-solid 1911 with forged steel construction, modern upgrades, and the strength to provide a lifetime of service.

Adjustable Rear Sight
To ensure maximum downrange accuracy, the sturdily built steel adjustable rear sight unit offers full windage and elevation adjustments. In addition, its rear face is black and serrated to help disperse sunlight and ensure a solid sight picture. The front sight features a high-visibility white dot. A set of attractively checkered thinline wood grips ensures a solid hold on the pistol.
