The New: Springfield Armory Garrison Target 1911

Springfield Armory has introduced the Garrison Target 1911, a competition-focused addition to its popular Garrison lineup. Building on the original series launched in 2021, this model keeps the classic 1911 foundation while adding modern performance upgrades.

It features a forged frame, slide, and barrel, along with a match-grade stainless-steel barrel, skeletonized hammer, extended thumb safety, and beavertail grip safety. The key improvement is a low-profile, fully adjustable rear sight that allows precise windage and elevation adjustments, making it especially useful for competition and range shooting.

The pistol is available in both .45 ACP and 9mm, and includes practical touches such as slim wood grips, a straight mainspring housing, and a fully supported chamber. It ships with a case and one magazine, and carries an MSRP of $999.

Key Features and Performance Upgrades

The defining focus of the Garrison Target 1911 is accuracy and adjustability. The addition of fully adjustable rear sights sets it apart from standard models, giving shooters greater control over precision shooting.

Despite its upgrades, it stays true to the traditional 1911 design, preserving familiar ergonomics and handling characteristics. The combination of forged construction and a match-grade barrel ensures durability and consistent performance, while offering the flexibility of both .45 ACP and 9mm chamberings.
